Principal, Mr. Michael Jones

It is an honor to serve as the Principal of Pocono Mountain West High School and be a proud member of the Panther Nation. As a school staff, we look forward to making this year a safe, positive, and encouraging experience for West students and families. This school year, we will share many new and sometimes challenging opportunities together. Parents and families can be confident that students will have access to great staff, opportunities to excel in academics, and be challenged in a manner that promotes productive growth.
Among the many goals we have as educators are to promote and foster appropriate positive behaviors, encourage good citizenship, and develop in students a sense of pride in their school and community. It is at our core that we want to provide our students the opportunities to learn and grow socially. Achieving these goals requires strong communication, focus on student achievement and social development, and a dedication to our school community. At WHS, we will achieve all of these together.
It goes without saying that students, families, and staff have many challenges in front of them. As a school community, we want to support our students and their families.
If you ever have a question or need to discuss any ideas or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm grateful to begin my fourth year as an assistant principal at West High School. I'm looking forward to seeing all of our students and staff after the long summer break. This year I will be the 11th grade assistant principal which is exciting because I get to "move up" with my sophomore students from last year and watch them continue to grow academically and in sports and activities that they are passionate about.I look forward to another year of helping students meet their academic and other goals through our engaging curriculum and many extracurricular opportunities. Learning is something I am most passionate about, and I hope to be able to inspire and encourage others to continue to learn and grow in areas they are passionate about too. I very much enjoy watching our students compete in sports and in competitive clubs and activities in which they enjoy, and I am a very proud Panther! -

There are many opportunities for you to get involved in. Find a club, sport or after school activity to meet fellow students and have fun. Remember to come to school each day, arrive on time and study hard. You will achieve academic excellence if you take advantage of all the support services available to you in school. Best wishes and good luck for a wonderful school year.
