Our John H. West 5th grade students celebrated their Spring Tea and continued a very special tradition today.
As the story has been passed down, many years ago, a local veteran from the Plainedge community began honoring graduating students in a truly unique way. From his nearby garage, he carefully crafted army-style dog tags for each member of the graduating class, year after year, a true labor of love recognizing this important milestone.
These dog tags are more than just a keepsake they represent friendships, challenges overcome, and all the memories made at John H. West.

Our Middle School students had a great time connecting with Plainedge High School seniors, who visited the auditorium to share their college experiences, offer advice, and talk about their excitement for what’s ahead. These meaningful conversations helped inspire curiosity and encouraged students to start thinking about the many possibilities in their future!
