This decision was made with student drivers and bus routes in mind. Thank you for your understanding.
💜 School Board Appreciation Month – Day 4 💜
Today, we are excited to recognize one of our School Board members, Josh Barton!
Josh has been a member of the Westville School Board since 2016. He and his wife, Holly, are proud to call Westville home—even after spending a few years away. Their two sons, Ethan and Alex, are both graduates of Westville.
Ethan (Class of 2020) is married to Josie (Class of 2021), and together they are proud parents to their son, Jamison Joshua. Alex (Class of 2023) is the owner and operator of AB Lawn Maintenance, a business he started at just 15 years old.
Josh considers it an honor to serve the students, teachers, and community that have given so much to his family. As he puts it, “Westville isn’t just where we’re from—it’s who we are.”

The McAlester Power Meet scheduled for tomorrow, January 28, has been moved to Thursday, January 29.
Additionally, tomorrow’s Spirit Bus to the TU vs. North Texas game is cancelled. Students who turned in money will receive a refund once school is back in session. While we are disappointed we cannot cheer Buddy on in person, with no school and hazardous back roads, we feel this is the best decision for everyone’s safety.

Today, we’re excited to recognize our School Board President, Clay Slayton!
Clay has deep roots in Westville. He moved here with his family in the summer of 1978 and is the youngest of four siblings. His parents both served as Westville educators for over a decade, helping shape the school and community he now proudly serves.

He is currently the Sales Manager for Arco Environments in Gentry, Arkansas, overseeing territory throughout the Southeastern United States.
Clay married his wife, Julie, in the summer of 2011. Together, they have a busy and growing family, including their son Maverick Hooper, a 5th grader at Westville, two daughters, a granddaughter, and a grandson. One daughter lives in Edmond with her husband and their 18-month-old son, while another daughter and granddaughter live here in Westville. Tyleigh is currently in the 2nd grade.
When they’re not cheering on their kids at sporting events year-round, the Slayton family enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, riding ATVs, and beach vacations.
