Grades 10-12
College Admissions Counselors Visits begin September 11th throughout November 2025.
We would like to inform and encourage you to sign up for college admissions representative visits available in Naviance. College admissions counselors visit Westwood Regional High School throughout September, October and November to meet and speak with our students.
These visits offer valuable opportunities for students in grades 10–12 to explore potential colleges in a familiar setting. They allow students to learn directly from admissions representatives about academic programs, campus life, and the application process. Attending helps students ask personalized questions, make connections with admissions staff, and begin to envision their post-secondary path—whether they’re just starting to explore or narrowing down their list of schools.
When you attend a college admissions visit at WRHS, we ask that you:
Communicate early with your teacher that you have a visit scheduled for a particular date/time and would like to be excused. Ideally, you should not be missing an assessment to attend a visit.
If you miss a class for a visit, please know that your attendance will be taken during the visit. Failure to take place in the college visit while missing class will result in a “cut” from that class.
Be respectful and ask appropriate questions during the college visit.
