Class of 2024:Senior Decision Day, May 20, 2024.
To celebrate this exciting time in your school career, we will be having our banner signing in the Cafeteria during the first period block on May 20th. We would like to recognize and celebrate all students and their plans post-graduation including college, trade school, military, or joining the workforce. We invite students to join us for breakfast to sign the banner and commemorate this momentous event. Feel free to bring a small sticker with your school's logo/mascot and make sure to show your "new" school pride by wearing gear (hats, shirts, sweatshirts, etc). If you are undecided or haven't committed by this date, please know you are welcome to attend the event with your senior class.
We are thrilled to celebrate your accomplishments with you. We are proud of the young individuals you have become over your years at Westwood Regional High School. Please know that regardless of where you are headed, remember what you have learned about Cardinal Pride and take it with you! Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal.
Thank you again to our PSO for the second installment of our school culture project. To match our stairs, this mural contains more of the words and feelings directly quoted from our students with famous artist, https://www.marco-santini.com/.

High School US History 1 students in Mr. Collis' classes visited the Seven Chimneys House, a national historic landmark across the street from the high school.
