Happy National School Psychologist Week!

This week we’re proud to celebrate our amazing school psychologists, Carmen Ritter and Lori Adams!
Their compassion, expertise, and dedication make a lasting impact on the academic, social, and emotional success of our students. We’re so grateful for the many ways they support our schools, students and families each day.

We’d also like to recognize their practicum students — Taylor Langston, Alex Williams and Logan Despain — who are gaining valuable hands-on experience as they work alongside our psychologists to serve our Warrior community.

Thank you all for the care, commitment, and heart you bring to Westside! ❤️🤍
