These Trojans may not see each other during the school day, but in the evening they all come together at home. The Justis family, Hurst family, Rosen family, Whaley's, Patrick's, Minors, Buis family, Emmons' and Webb's are a small part of nuclear families that make up West High.

There is no denying that the recent age of “play,” has been fun, by all accounts video games are one of, if not THE most popular form of media that there has been or ever will be.
