Mrs. Roberts, the attendance goddess, is calling it quits along with the class of 2015. Word is, she is a little tired of hearing all of the excuses generated by the tardy Western students. Everything from, “I couldn’t find my toothbrush,” “My dog licked a toad, and I had to clean up the aftermath,” and the classic but highly effective “I got stuck in traffic.” These rationalizations of belated arrival proved to be too much for her.

A dedicated staff member and a favorite around WAHS, Mrs. Roberts will be greatly missed among our school community. Every Western student that has been spared a tardy or two stuck on Parent Portal should be thankful for her forgiving heart.
