Some of the real heroes of our school district are in the nurse's offices, caring for and helping 'nurse' our kids back to health!
We thank our nurses for all of their care, patience and willingness to do some of the true dirty work in our schools!
Thank you!

A little breaking news this evening as West Noble's boys and girls track teams both completed the sweeps of the NECC West Division schedules to reign as conference champs! Both the Lady Chargers and Chargers finish 5-0 after both knocked off Lakeland at home Tuesday evening in the double duals.
West Noble will look to complete the ladder this Friday at the NECC Championships at Angola.
Well done ladies and gentlemen, champions indeed!

Cinco de Mayo is a special holiday at West Noble schools, and today we celebrated in style. Just at the Primary alone, they had pinatas, paletas and a special taco buffet. Each of the buildings had their own versions of celebration, one which the West Noble community continues to share and embrace!

Turning Point has sent another senior through to graduation! Giovanni Maynard has completed his required coursework at Turning Point and is on the path to graduation at West Noble this June. He still has a few classes to sew up this May, but his Turning Point journey is complete.
He was celebrated this morning among his peers and teachers, and we all wish him well as he aims to "lock in" the final steps of his educational journey!

Many years ago, I learned that 'free food is good food'. So today, I am paying it forward for a year's worth of freebies. Take a read on my first-person experience in the chair at the Fairfield Cosmetology Department as a year-long client of West Noble High School senior Melissa Ledesma. She and several of her classmates have been serving the public all school year, and should at least get consideration for you to join them next year!

WN Primary Parents and WN Staff: Due to an accident near Ligonier, power was lost at the Primary building around 1:30 PM. This was about 30 minutes before students lined up for dismissal and buses were already in route to the school. There was enough natural light and water pressure to finish out the school day and send students home at the normal time. However, since we do not know when power will be restored, we are cancelling the first grade graduation program that was scheduled for this evening. I assume we will reschedule that at a later date.

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!
Pictured from left to right are Coba-Reyes, Delgado, Resendez and Recendiz-Esparza; not pictured is Miranda-Barrientos.

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!

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!
