SEPTEMBER 22-26, 2025

College Application Week is part of College GO! And is a national initiative of the American College Application Campaign (ACAC). The goal is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each student submits at least one admissions application. Many Indiana universities join in the celebration by taking away their college application fees for a week or longer so that students can apply for free.

A message from WLJSHS Bands

Our marching band, The Sound of West Side, has an annual event called the March-A-Thon, in which we march around the city and perform concerts at both private residences and public sites. The community is welcome to purchase a private concert at their home, or this year, may also purchase/sponsor an individual song at one of the public sites.

March-A-Thon is on Saturday, September 20 this year. If you're interested in purchasing a concert/song or just want to know more about the event please visit https://wlbands.com/marchathon/

Our day will begin with the first public performance at the Jr/Sr High around 8:45 am, with other public sites including University Farms Park, Lommel Park, Brokerage, and Silver Dipper (Sagamore location). We will also be hosting a "Dine and Donate" event with Mad Mushroom (next door to Silver Dipper) to support the band program.
