Dr. Wright is a proud graduate of West High School ('98) and is excited to re-join the West High community. Before becoming an administrator, he taught IB Film Studies, TV Broadcasting, and Spanish at West for 6 years. Most recently, he worked as the principal of Clayton Middle School and Dilworth Elementary. He loves the outdoors, spending time with family, singing the national anthem at football games, and is an avid Utah State Aggie fan.

Robert Guido is a new administrator joining West High for 2020-2021. He has eight years formerly as a school counselor, including time at Bryant Middle and Indian Hills Elementary. He recently completed his Ed.D. in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Utah. Dr. Guido believes that our public schools are inherently linked to our shared democratic ideals. He also believes a resolute and authentic compulsory education looks like community building; problem solving without violence; determined critical & creative thinking; preparing responsible and empowered citizens; and public education is a celebration and embracement of diversity and diverse learners. When not at West High, Dr. Guido loves to hike, travel, spend time with family, watch scary movies, compete in poker tournaments, and he is a decent home chef.

Dr. Thomas is thrilled to be part of the West High community! Before becoming an administrator, she taught math and was an Athletic Director at Granger High School. Prior to being a teacher, she worked for the Sports Desk at Deseret News. She loves our Utah mountains, time with her family [including her two dogs], and all sports - she is a season ticket holder for Utah football and attends all the Utah Jazz games she can.
