West Middle School

Principal Abby Kanitz

We have an incredible staff that works hard on behalf of kids. With only two short years with students, we strive to be sure our students are able to R.I.S.E. to whatever it is that they want to do and be. Through REACHing out and setting goals, positively IMPACTing themselves and others, STANDing up for what is right, and EMPOWERing themselves and others to be the best they can be, we believe that ALL students can learn. West Middle School continues to positively impact students academically, socially, and emotionally. Through The 7 Habits, all staff members strive to help our 7th and 8th graders grow as learners and as people. 

Our goal is to prepare students for Byron Center High School. Through rigorous academics, well-rounded extracurricular activities, and positive daily experiences, we believe that our students leave here ready to achieve great things throughout their remaining time in BC and beyond. At WMS, we take pride in working collaboratively with parents and guardians to ensure ALL of our students are supported, cared for, and successful.
