Not only are their new freshmen at Greeley West this year, there are new Spartans all around the crowded school, including upperclassmen and teachers. Among the new faces is Alondra Alamos, a new junior who, not only is new to West, but new to Greeley as a city.

Alamos moved here from Las Cruces, New Mexico and is already blending into West by trying out for cheerleading and being in the theater program.

Like most students at West, Alamos already knows the struggle of going from class to class through the hub. “Yeah, the hub is crazy. I dropped a pencil once and I didn’t even try to get it back. I knew I would never see that pencil again,” Alamos said.

The hub isn’t the only astonishing thing to Alamos; she also says she was, “shocked by the amount of people who walk the halls of West.”

Other than the insanity of the hub and the abundance of students, Alamos is excited to be a new Spartan.  West is also overcoming some rumors that Alamos heard when coming into the new school. She was informed that only, “white people attend West. But I’m so surprised because I have met new people with different races and it’s so cool,” Alamos said.
