If you’re looking to donate, we are always in need of hygiene essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and similar items. Thank you for supporting our students! 💜

Mrs. Yeager is in her 17th year of teaching, with 16 of those years proudly spent at Westville. She loves teaching most when students get excited about learning, believing that when kids are engaged and having fun, they naturally want to learn more.
Originally from Muskogee, Oklahoma, Mrs. Yeager moved to Westville after marrying her husband, Kevin. She grew up experiencing the best of both worlds—working cows one weekend and attending the opera the next. In high school, she was captain of the swim team and president of the choir. Today, she leads worship on Sunday mornings at Stilwell Impact Church and is the proud mom of two Westville students, Kainan and Jenaly. Her whole family is proud to be Yellowjackets.
One of the best pieces of career advice she’s received is a reminder that perfection isn’t realistic. She’s grateful for the supportive community of teachers around her who encourage her to do her best and remember that her best is enough.
A fun fact that might surprise people: Mrs. Yeager competed in the Miss NSU pageant against Carrie Underwood and won—right before Carrie went on to win American Idol!
🌟Elementary Staff Spotlight: Ralanda Mongold🌟
Mrs. Mongold is in her 11th year at Westville, bringing with her an additional seven years of teaching experience from Arkansas. She loves teaching 1st grade because her students make her laugh every day, and she enjoys watching their growth as they learn and gain confidence.
She has been married to her husband, Eric, for 20 years, and together they have two children, Emaline and Beck. Mrs. Mongold holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Principal’s Certificate. Outside the classroom, she enjoys crafting, going to concerts, learning new things, and cheering on the OKC Thunder.
The best career advice she’s received is to be true to herself and not worry about what others think. A fun fact that may surprise people—she has seen The Avett Brothers in concert 16 times across four different states!
We are so thankful for Mrs. Yeager and Mrs. Mongold and the joy, dedication, and heart they bring to our students each day!


THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for gathering donations of tissues and Clorox wipes for our teachers! Your generosity helps keep our classrooms clean, healthy, and ready for learning—we appreciate you so much! 💜



On Saturday, February 7, six Westville band members proudly represented our school in Checotah after qualifying for the EOBDA Honor Band.
Emaline Mongold, Mylee Snider, Haylee Hill, Rylin Gibson, Judah Goodall, and Liam McDonald auditioned and were selected to perform with the Eastern Oklahoma Band Directors Association Honor Band. The students wrapped up the experience with a fantastic concert alongside talented musicians from across Eastern Oklahoma.
We are so proud of these students for their hard work and dedication! 💛🎺


Last week, Mrs. Barber’s 8th Grade English class brought literature to life with a mock trial over Roald Dahl’s famous short story “Lamb to the Slaughter.”
Students stepped into the roles of witnesses, suspects, attorneys, and jurors as they built their cases using strong argumentative reasoning. Both the prosecution and defense teams focused on citing textual evidence, substantiating claims and counterclaims, and using persuasive techniques to sway the jury.
Not only did our students sharpen their critical thinking and public speaking skills, but they also shared plenty of laughs along the way. Learning is always more meaningful when it’s engaging — and this class proved that literature can be both rigorous and a whole lot of fun! 👏✨


Monday, February 23 | 5:00–7:00 PM
We invite you to learn more about the upcoming bond and how it could support our school, students, and learning spaces. Enjoy a campus tour and explore classroom, club, and organization showcases, along with an art exhibit featuring work from our elementary, middle, and high school students.
Light refreshments will be available.
Come experience the incredible learning and activities happening across our school community. We look forward to connecting with you!

If you have any questions or need a paper copy, please contact your student’s school office.
We love seeing student artwork displayed throughout the school—it adds so much creativity and color to our spaces!





They are excited to announce they are hosting a Penny & Nickel War!
We will be having three wars this year:
• Elementary grades against one another
• Middle school grades against one another
• High school grades against one another
Since pennies are being phased out, nickels will also count as positive points.
Dimes, quarters, and dollar bills will be negative points… maybe you can sabotage the other grades 😉
Buckets will be located in the building offices. Let's get ready for war!
The last day to add to the buckets is Friday, February 20.
🏆 Winning grades will earn a party! 🎉

Students are analyzing propaganda posters from World War II and the Holocaust, identifying examples of ethos, pathos, and logos.
Such a powerful way to connect literature, history, and critical thinking! 💜



Come celebrate our Basketball and Cheer seniors tonight at 5:15 PM in the gym. Let’s pack the stands and show them some love as they take the court for their last home game! 💜
