Bentonville's West High School sets colors day date

BENTONVILLE -- West High School will have a colors day this year after all.

Principal Jonathon Guthrie announced this week colors day will be Feb. 17. The colors day court will be announced at a pep rally that morning and again at halftime of the boys' basketball game that night against Rogers' Heritage High School.

A dance will be held immediately following the game, Guthrie said.

Guthrie initially balked at the idea of doing a colors day, a longtime tradition at Bentonville High School and other area schools. He reconsidered after receiving some feedback from students and consulting with his administrative team.

West High School, a part of the Bentonville School District, opened in Centerton in August.

Bentonville High School's colors day is set for Friday.
