It all started in West Mesa High School's founding year, 1967. At that time the yearbook was called El Chicote, meaning "The Whip" in English. Then, around 1984, the yearbook was renamed El Espiritu, meaning "The Spirit" in English. Regardless of its title, the student-produced West Mesa High School yearbook has been capturing the history of our school since its very beginning! Countless Mustangs alumni have enjoyed the rich traditions of West Mesa High School captured through the hard work of student yearbook journalism, allowing them to recall the people and moments that made life during high school an unforgettable experience.

Now in its 58th year of publication, the WMHS yearbook staff of El Espiritu proudly carries on the time-honored tradition of chronicling the determination and excellence of the Mustangs year after year after year. GO MUSTANGS!
