All About the Wahawks

The logo representing the school is a block “W“, with a feather trailing from the bottom left of the “W“.

Waterloo West High School Mascot

The Waterloo West High WAHAWK name is derived from Waterloo (WA), and Black Hawk County (HAWK). The school mascot initially was a student dressed in Indian attire, and who attended pep rallies, sporting events, and general school assemblies.

More recently, the school has adopted “WESTY” – a hawk-like character, who also is represented by a student attending West High.

Waterloo West High School ALMA MATER

Where the rolling plains of Iowa

Meet the Cedar’s stream

Stands our dear old Alma Mater

High in our esteem.

Chorus:

“Duty, Honor, Service” always

May they never die

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater

Hail, all hail, West High

Comrades, classmates, friends we rally!

“Loyalty” we cry?

Pledge our hearts and hands to honor

Our beloved West High

Chorus: Repeated

Alumni:

From our hall still echo footsteps

Of alumni true:

Holding high our honored banner

They, our faith renewed

Chorus: Repeated
