As Westwood continues to grow, strong traditions remain. One of the most important events of the school year is the Graduation and Promotion Ceremony, where not only are the graduates recognized, but students are promoted into the Westwood Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Middle School programs. Students receiving their Duke of Edinburgh Awards and International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program Certificates are also honored
The end of the 2011-2012 school year brought a new beginning for our six graduates in a ceremony held at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The Senior class each spoke during their graduation as they collectively gave the Commencement Speech. During this moving speech, Dayton Blankenship expressed, “although we will no longer be students after today, we will always consider the school our home

“This class is typical of the standards we set and achieve at Westwood. With the help of our dedicated teachers, the graduates have stayed the course that was set over the years,” said Ms. Butler, Head of School. Although small in number, with only six members, The Westwood High School Class of 2012 has been offered over $1 million in merit-based college scholarships
The Westwood Staff would like to extend congratulations to our students for their hard work and efforts this year. We are so proud of each of you! Have a wonderful, adventurous and safe summer and we look forward to seeing your future achievements!
