🌟 High School/Middle School Staff Spotlight: Angela Coleman 🌟
Angela is celebrating her 20th year at Westville Schools! She loves teaching literature and sharing her passion for learning with her students. 💛 Her favorite part of the job is helping students connect with stories and ideas that inspire them to think deeply and grow.
The best career advice she’s ever received is that being a teacher is unlike any profession in the world—it’s one of the hardest yet most meaningful and rewarding jobs there is.
Angela is married to Kevin and is the proud mother of Brett and Paxton, as well as “Cha Cha” to Autumn and Hazel. Outside of school, she enjoys reading, watching movies and sports, and spending time with her family and friends—who mean the world to her. And if you didn’t know, she absolutely loves college football! 🏈💜🐝
🌟 Elementary Staff Spotlight: Rebecca Barton 🌟
Rebecca is in her 5th year at Westville Schools and serves as our dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist! She has been in the field for 10 years and says her favorite part of the job is connecting with and developing relationships with students while cheering them on as they grow and learn. 💛
The best career advice she’s ever received is to “know why you’re doing what you’re doing—you can’t teach a concept unless you understand the meaning behind it,” and to always think outside the box.
Outside of school, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. Her family is proud to call Westville home! 🌼 Fun fact—she loves planting and caring for her flowers and never misses a good home renovation show! 🐝💜
We’re so thankful for these wonderful ladies' dedication, heart, and impact here at Westville!

Students in Ms. Abshier's Advanced Placement Literature had their annual Monster Mash today.
Students have spent the last several weeks building monsters out of used/discarded materials that represent a personal fear to bookend their Frankenstein unit.
Today, students got to display their creations and look at others, voting for categories such as Most Terrifying, Best Use of Materials, Best Overall, Most Creative, and Most Impressive Craftsmanship.
Great job, juniors!

Westville Public Schools is committed to keeping our students and community safe. We want to remind you that beginning November 1, 2025, a new Oklahoma law—House Bill 2263—will make it illegal to use or hold a handheld cellphone or electronic device while driving in an active school zone (or a road construction zone).
🚫 What This Means:
Drivers must be completely hands-free when passing through school zones, including drop-off and pickup areas. The goal of this law is to prevent distracted driving and protect children and pedestrians.
✅ Our Request to You:
Please begin practicing hands-free habits now. Make calls or send texts before entering school zones so your full attention stays on the road and our students’ safety.
Your cooperation helps keep Westville school zones safe for everyone. 💜
Thank you for doing your part to protect our kids and community!
