Pewamo-Westphalia Middle-High School
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 make this a very successful school year. Please know that we can only maintain our tradition of excellence - our Champion's Culture - if we pursue our personal best each day and work together as teammates.
As we are here to serve you, please do not hesitate to reach out should you have comments, concerns, suggestions, or praise - ryan.portenga@pwschools.org / (517) 587-5100. #Onward #WeArePW
Sincerely,
Ryan Portenga, Principal
