Gorgeous day for an Art in the Park field trip!

MESSAGE FROM INTERIM PRINCIPAL ROBIN LOWE

Hi Parents,

In the last month we've had the following events:

Math Counts State
Destination Imagination Regionals
First Lego League State
UIL Regional
Band UIL
Orchestra UIL
Choir UIL (next week)
Geography Bee State
Ongoing Track and Field Meets

Whew - and I am sure I have left some off this list! Your kids are amazing! They work hard all day long at school and then they continue those efforts with their extracurricular activities after school and on weekends.

Take some time for all of you - including your kids - to get some rest and relaxation over our three day weekend.

See you back on Monday!

Robin

WHS HYLINE - ZENITH

Westlake Hyline presents "Zenith 2018: Quoted"

April 19, 20 & 21, WHS Performing Arts Center

Tickets on sale now at www.whszenith.com

You've seen them on the field at Chapparal Stadium, now come see them on stage! The Westlake Hyline dance team presents their annual spring show, Zenith, on April 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 at the WHS Performing Arts Center. This year's theme, "Quoted," was chosen because of the many ways dance can inspire, uplift and communicate in the way some of the most often-quoted words do, sometimes even more powerfully.

The team, supported by the highly-acclaimed production talents of the WHS Technical Entertainment Crew (TEC), will perform a wide range of fresh, fun choreography: lyrical, hip-hop, modern, jazz and tap, in addition to their award-winning competition pieces and the beloved "Bob & Susie" dance featuring team fathers!

Hyline is also proud to welcome to the stage the Star Steppers, the Dance Department Classes, the Madrigals, vocal and instrumental soloists, a high-tech light show, Cheer and the can't-miss "Gyline" to showcase the many performance talents that thrive at Westlake High School.
