Pewamo-Westphalia Middle-High School

Welcome to Pewamo-Westphalia Middle-High School - where we are pursuing our Personal Best! Within our school, one will find a very high standard for academic, social, and extracurricular excellence. However, it should be known that this is a place where all stakeholders can be successful - as everyone has the opportunity to receive the most out of their scholastic experience.

At PWMHS, we strive to forge a Champions’ Culture within our school district every hour of every day. Students and families can expect an environment that promotes educational, social, and emotional growth - one that will push students to pursue their Personal Best to reach full potential as a student and young adult. Here, our mission is to create a school environment that is both positive and challenging - fostering countless opportunities to improve oneself and championing all aspects of the "Triple A"... Academics, Arts, and Athletics.

Over the years, PWMHS is consistently ranked near the top of the US News and World Reports when compared with its peers, performs extremely well within various state metrics, and supports numerous respected / award-winning co- and extracurricular programming such as:

As you'll read in our Student-Parent Handbook, our goal is to prepare students today for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow by helping them develop the skills necessary to become responsible members of a changing society and challenging them through a quality curriculum delivered by a caring educational community. Within this goal, we will create a caring community of purposeful learning that supports and celebrates the individuality of each child - and will furthermore strive to ensure that our children are safe, healthy, engaged, challenged, and supported.

We sincerely look forward to working with you - students, parents, alumni, and community alike - to sustain our Champions Culture moving forward. As we are here to serve you, please do not hesitate to reach out to Principal Ryan Portenga should you have comments, concerns, suggestions, or praise - [email protected] / (517) 587-5100. #Onward #RockTheShip #WeArePW
