The class of 2007 was the first to host graduation in the new fieldhouse.

2018 Anti-Semitic allegations

[edit]

In 2018, New Berlin West halted its yearbook distribution after the school learned that a senior student chose a yearbook quote referring to the Holocaust. His quote read, "There will always be one true Final Solution." A spokesman of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation was on record as finding the quote "very disturbing and upsetting". Terribly disappointing.[7]
