Thank you to all the students and staff (former and current), families, and community members that attended our Portage West Middle School 50 Year Anniversary Celebration! It was truly an evening to remember! We will be sharing pictures from the event over several posts.
In our first series of pictures, here is Mrs. Leanne (Wells) Larson, original staff member in 1973, with 3 of her former students; sisters Alicia (Baker) Segula and Allison (Baker) Hammond along with Jaime McNulty. Allison and Jamie were apart of the first class to attend all 3 years at West Junior High, 1973 - 1976. Alicia attended between 1975 - 1978. Alicia and Allison were on Mrs. Larson's cheerleading squads. Allison and Jamie were in Mrs. Larson's 7th grade science class in 1973!
The second picture includes Mr. Dave Overton, West Junior High's first band director!
Stay tuned for more amazing moments captured from this historic evening! Also, feel free to share YOUR pictures!
