West Lake Junior High School sprang up 50 years ago in West Valley City to serve a rapidly growing community.

The city has undergone significant changes during the last few decades, but West Lake’s place as an institution of exceptional education has remained constant. In recognition of the school’s golden anniversary, administrators, staff members, students, and volunteers hosted a special celebration of Mustang history.

The school’s 50th Anniversary celebration saw past and present students and staff members reminiscing on West Lake’s fifty-year milestone. The halls were lined with artifacts and memorabilia that evoked the school’s rich history.
