THIS IS WESTLAKE HIGH.

 

Westlake High School - The Learning Center - TLC (for "at-risk" students who need a different learning environment)

The Learning Center (TLC) was once located in a nearby stone house.  Then, during summer 2003, the fire marshal deemed it unsafe.  Time marched on and when Eanes ISD was notified of a final deadline for repairs, instead of moving forward on the required safety repairs for TLC, one board member suggested that we "just put 'em in a portable."  During this summer 2004 board meeting recorded by KeepEanesInformed, Nola Wellman explained that the little rock house provided a more "home-like" environment, an essential aspect needed by the TLC students to engage and succeed.  Also to Nola's credit, she invited the board to visit the TLC.  Another board member reminded the board that it may be wise to reserve the rock house area for future athletic program improvements and move the TLC somewhere else (KeepEanesInformed audiotape of that board meeting will be posted soon.) 

And that's how this mobile home became Westlake High.  Not Westlake High Proper.  Not The Westlake High School that serves all of the children. Just the at-risk children.  Who don't play football.  Who don't have a board member to speak up for their needs. 

Currently, the rock house (literally a stone's throw away) is being completely rebuilt as a top notch athletic facility with coaching offices, lockers, showers, the best of the best (photo below.)  In 2006, the Eanes ISD leadership tried to pass a bond for a covered indoor football field (natatorium) so that the football players wouldn't get hot during summer heat?  And the TLC (at-risk) students?  This year, the Eanes ISD board heard from the Eanes ISD facilities manager who explained that the air conditioning in the arguably substandard TLC facilities is failing (doesn't cool properly in spring and summer). 

How's that for some TLC?

 

THIS IS WESTLAKE HIGH.

Westlake High School - Two high school athletic PRACTICE fields - current installation of millions of dollars in artificial turf and lights.  And that doesn't include the cost of replacing the WHS stadium artificial turf also currently being replaced.  Click here to learn more.

 

 

Westlake High School tennis/softball complex - The former location of The Learning Center (TLC) is currently under construction as a yet another top notch athletic facility with coaching offices, lockers, showers, the best of the best.

 GOT SCRAPS?

Don't bother searching for the The Learning Center (TLC) on the Westlake High School website ...

The priority remains clear.

19+ Program - Students ages 18-21 who are graduating under an Individual Education Plan may attend the 19+ program to address goals for transition to adulthood.
