Curious Sunflower League fans are wanting to learn more about Olathe West. Where can our readers find out about the future fifth school? May we have permission to post the link(s) to the website?
Tim Brady
The best place for information is www.olatheschools.com/olathewest. We will be updating this site regularly as we get closer to the opening of the building.

Your department recently conducted a survey of future colors and mascots for the school. When does the district plan on revealing this information?
Tim Brady
After the November Board of Education meeting, the district announced on the website, Facebook and Twitter that Blue and Silver and the Owls was the final choice for mascot and colors. Once we have finalized the design of the owl, we will release that as well.

Outside of hiring the first official Principal of the building, who are the next hire’s to help build the faculty?
Tim Brady
The district will be hiring the principal during second semester and that person will start his/her duties on July 1, 2016. Subsequent staff members will be hired later, with the majority hired sometime during the 2016-17 school year.

Who or what sport is generally the first Teacher/Head Coach hired within the school?
Tim Brady
We don't know yet at this time.

It is my understanding, that Olathe West will be a Junior Varsity Football program in 2017, prior to becoming Varsity in 2018. Does this allow for enrollment to build once the school is in its second year?
Tim Brady
Correct - we will play a sub varsity schedule in 2017.
SFN
Does Olathe #233 plan to fall in to a 5 or 6A enrollment with the KSHSAA?
Tim Brady
Boundaries have not been set by the BOE. We don't know this information at this time.
Thank you again to Olathe #233 AD Tim Brady for your time in explaining how the process of Olathe West started, and what the future has in store in the months ahead.
