Hello Falcons, 

My name is Shawna Younghans, and I’m excited to begin my second year at DC West as the Administrative Facilitator.
In this role, I work closely with students, staff, and families to support student growth and success. Together, we’ll collaborate to overcome challenges and ensure each student has what they need to thrive.

This year, we’re introducing SmartPass, an electronic hall pass system designed to improve student accountability and streamline transitions. We’ll also continue to live out our mission of engaging, preparing, and empowering students every day.

On a personal note, my husband and I have two wonderful children. Jack (6) is a proud 1st grader here at DC West, and our youngest, Jared (3), is already one of the district’s biggest fans! As a family, we love spending time outdoors—whether it's swimming at the pool, relaxing at the lake, or heading out for fishing and hunting adventures.

We’re proud to be part of the DC West family and are looking forward to another great year!

GO FALCONS!
