Coat Of Arms

The coat of arms for West Forsyth High School was conceived in the spring of 1968. An artist listened to a group of West Forsyth student leaders who explained the unique features of the school. Following their comments and suggestions, the artist drew sketches until the committee was satisfied with his depiction of all phases of West Forsyth. The legend is as follows:

Titan -- School Mascot
Torch With Initials -- Symbolizes high education
Scales With Clasped Hands -- Represent fair government and friendly atmosphere
Quill and Gavel -- Stand for the many clubs and extra-curricular activities at West Forsyth
Olympic Rings & Laurel Leaves -- Denote a strong athletic program
Year/Date (1964) -- The founding date of West Forsyth High School

Alma Mater
Here's to our dear old West High,
Of which we are so proud.
With victory our motto,
Our voices we raise loud.
Our banner raised in Titan praise,
Our name we shall uphold;
So here's to dear old West High,
And her green, her white and gold.
Years after we have parted
Our memories will hold;
Those glorious days at West High,
And her green, her white and gold.
-- Words by Dean Hege, Class of '65

Fight Song
We're gonna win this game
there's no doubt about it,
We're behind you
Ready to shout it,
Come on team
we know you're strong
So now victory is our song!
