I attended Westwood High School from 2014-2018. I learned a lot and I grew a lot. It was a very hard transition from middle school to high school, but I made it work for ME! When I stepped on the grounds of Westwood, the school seemed so HUGE! It looked like a castle! I thought to myself, "Oh Lord, I'm going to get lost!" My hands were trembling and my knees were shaking. After some self encouragement, I got myself together and walked through those doors. Westwood High School, here I am. I thought to myself, this isn't so bad! I gained some courage and started for looking for my classes. I was ready to take on the world now. I knew that I would do my best. My overall experience at Westwood was awesome. I got involved in various clubs and activities. I took part in the marching band and thoroughly enjoyed it! The teachers were great! They made sure that I received everything that I needed before entering college. I definitely appreciate the time spent at Westwood High School!
Westwood is a good school with lots of experience and opportunity. The teachers push students like myself to be the best that they can be academic wise, but also as a person. Whenever I have doubts about something I know that I can ask questions or talk to any adult at the school without feeling like I'm a bother or that I will be "discriminated" against. Also, there are many clubs and organizations that try to get students involved or make students feel comfortable at the school they're attending.
I moved from a different state, and never moved before, so I was scared on how the transition would go. The teachers were always understanding, welcoming and nurturing. Coming from a small school with few kids, and transferring to a big school with several kids was difficult, and several teachers helped me locate classes, helped me join different clubs and sports. I appreciate all of the teachers help.
