Overall, Westminster high school was a fun experience for me! Our athletic programs are very strong, and there is a strong sense of community and school pride. A majority of the falculty is helpful and wants to see students succeed. We are the only school in our county that offers an extensive sign language program which is highly recommended among students. We have a variety of clubs to get involved in all throughout the year, however it would be nice if the administration eliminated the club schedule which allows clubs to only meet once a month, which is not frequent enough.
Lots of opportunities to succeed! I was able to get dual enrollment and college credit through APs... had an internship, etc.
The connection to the Tech Center is very helpful for non-college seeking students.
Definitely not a safe space for minorities though... I had it easy as a cis white girl & the teachers were very trusting. However, otherwise some opportunities may not have been available to me.

I have enjoyed my time at Westminster high school because it has offered me a lot of opportunities to learn and create friendships. The teachers always made school more enjoyable and easier to succeed in, which has helped me significantly as my high school journey has been extremely successful as I have been able to excel in many honors and AP classes while also attending a career and tech program for Biomedical sciences. The school even prepared me enough to the point that I’ve taken college courses at the community college in junior and senior years, and I have to admit that the school is an excellent place to learn and engage with others as it is diverse and an excellent learning environment that I have enjoyed greatly.
