Description
West Cary Middle School was built in 1965 and renovated in 1995. The renovations included a new 6th Grade wing, new cafeteria, auditorium, media center, and a refurbished gymnasium. West Cary has exploded into technology with two first-rate computer labs for classes to use, a fully networked lab in the Media Center, and all classrooms are equipped with networked computers.
Assistant Principals Robert Christesen and Connie Wiggins-Price support Principal Douglas Thilman. In addition to overall responsibility for the school, Mr. Thilman takes special efforts to guide the 7th Grade, while Ms. Wiggins-Price handles the 8th and Mr. Christesen supervises the 6th grade.
The current enrollment is over 1100. These students are broken down into teams per grade level. A lead teacher supervises each team. Students have numerous activities that they can participate in including athletics, student government, and cultural art functions such as band, drama and chorus. After school clubs are also available.
The progress made in the 2002-2003 school year certainly has supported the theme for West Cary: "Where Everyone Succeeds Together."” Our achievements reflect the hard work and dedication of the entire school family: students, staff, faculty, parents and the community.
