Word from the Editor...

In the beginning of this month, we celebrated Faye Mendenhall and her years at West Hills. As most of you know, Faye will be retiring at the end of this semester after spending 37 years teaching in Coalinga starting at Coalinga High School in 1971.

Those who attended Faye's retirement party had a blast. It was an evening of roasting and toasting all in honor of Faye. West Hills faculty, staff, students and alumni joined together at Harris Ranch for an evening full of laughs, tears and good food. If you missed it, you missed a great event. Below are some photos from the party. If you would like to view more photos or other photos from other West Hills events, visit Kodak Gallery where you can view the photos and print them. Recent photos posted include the Cinco de Mayo celebration at the Coalinga campus and the foundation's 12th Annual Golf Tournament.
