Welcome to West Middle School

Home of the Titans!

Traverse City West Middle School,  serving students in sixth through eighth grade, is one of two middle schools in the Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) district.

TC West's wide range of academic, arts, and athletic programs provide students an opportunity to discover their passions. From academically talented classes to outstanding music and art programs, students are challenged to reach their potential in an engaging learning environment. 

Students at West also have opportunities to participate in service-learning activities such as Project Greenagers, where students partner with community organizations that service natural resources in the region. The annual community service project allows students to serve the community in a hands-on way and to connect their experience to classroom curriculum.
