Melaney O'Neil

WMS Counselor

Trojan Ambassador Sponsor

I am our middle school counselor. I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. I've been a middle school assistant principal and an elementary school prinicipal. I have been in education for a looooonggg time.

I live way out in the country outside of Whitney on a ranch. I love roaming about my property, checking cows. I also love gardening and sitting on my front porch reading and/or watching the sunset. One of my favorite things to do is watch my 3 granddaughters play in their sports.

I love to travel. I'm going to Greece in June!! What do you think should be on my list of places there to visit?!!

My hope for all of the students at West Middle School is that they discover their unique strengths, tackle their problems with confidence, and feel supported every step of the way as they grow into the wonderful, kind, thoughtful individuals that God means for them to be. Make an impact on the world!!

Students Earning a 100 on Unit Tests

Students earn a treat for every 100 they earn on unit tests!

We had so much fun celebrating their success!

(Core classes)

Please give students a 100 Club Coupon when they earn it! Students must earn a 100 on a unit test to earn the coupon. Students will redeem their coupon after 3rd period, on their way to advisory. Students should go to the front of the office to meet Mrs. Jones.
