A Great Place to Learn and Grow
Because of the power outage in Ligonier this afternoon, the West Noble Primary first grade program has been postponed. We will have a new date for the program ASAP.
More celebrating to do with our testing performance this week!
West Noble High School is proud to announce we have five students that have tested out of WIDA this year.
Gaston Bachelard once said: "A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language." We are celebrating this "special kind of beauty" by recognizing five students who passed their WIDA exam. Britney Coba-Reyes, Erik Delgado, Jessica Miranda-Barrientos, Allison Recendiz-Esparza and Alex Resendez all met their requirements.
The WIDA Exam is a yearly language test given to determine academic proficiency in the English language. The test is extremely difficult, and we are so proud of the hard work of all of our students!

Our April Spotlight On Success at West Noble focuses on West Noble Elementary and its progress made in IRead test scores.
Principal Mark Yoder, along with assistant principal Jennifer Duncan and Brenda Yoder, presented to the WNSC school board the 2026 IRead statistics for WNE and how they correlate to the 2025 results. Among those connections were three videos made by students who made significant improvements from second to third grade, and how some staff members have found positivity in the testing process.
Congrats to principal Yoder, his staff and students for making positive strides and continuing West Noble to be a great place to learn and grow!

A huge shoutout this morning to our school bus driver's as part of National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! In so many cases, they are the first West Noble employees your kids see in the morning, and the last before they get home. Thank you for all you do in keeping our kids safe, in all your travels!
West Noble's high school band and orchestra gathered Monday evening to perform a musical set as part of their spring showcase.
The band and orchestra each played two songs, then came together to finish up with a three-song send-off.
Kudos to music director, Chris Douglas, and the entire ensemble for a very entertaining concert and a job well done!

Our administrative assistants are the lifeblood of our operations at West Noble. Without them, well, let's not think about not having them. They do it all, know it all, and know everyone. Thank you for all you do, we truly appreciate you!
It's been a super fun year for West Noble Primary's Kinderwoods crew, and they shared some of their joy with a very nice-sized crowd Tuesday at the base camp at the Owen House.
The kindergarten classes, taught by Amanda Custer and Isaac Weimer, put together a five-song concert which included the all-time favorites 'I'm Being Eaten By A Boa Constrictor' and 'Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah'.
As per usual this spring, rain shortened the evening as the heavy clouds snuffed out some of the s'mores after party, but this crew of kindergarteners and teachers have been in the elements all school year. No big deal! Bravo to the huge audience for supporting these kids and this unique program for West Noble, and bravo to the kids for their show performance and grit this school year!

Despite some crumby weather at times this morning, half of our West Noble Middle School seventh graders took to the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center to enhance their knowledge of the geography around them.
The students worked through four stations in two waves: one group for a hike to the gravel pit to focus on glaciers and their impact in carving out much of northern Indiana; and a longer hike to the bog and the 'bog jump'. The second wave worked near the Merry Lea dome at the to learn the impact of the glaciers and rock cycles, as well as at the model station to get a hand's on for changing landscapes how humans utilize rocks.
Thank you to the fine folks at Merry Lea, and for another round of hosting this Friday! Hoping for better weather for the next group!

We appreciate our librarians at West Noble, and the work they do to keep our minds moving, our curiosity peaking, and our knowledge expanding.
Thank you, librarians!
Thank you, librarians!
They aren't in the classroom today, so to speak, but they are vital to how our classrooms function. And they are a Godsend to our teachers who have the opportunity to work with them.
Thank you, paraprofessionals!
