Welcome to Westfield High School

Dear Students, Welcome to Westfield High School, an incredible place where you can pursue your passions and gifts, all while pre- paring for your future. While academics at WHS will provide a rich foundation for your success, getting connected and in- volved beyond the classroom will change you and shape even further. All you have to do is be willing to step out and try something new, and you will find yourself connected with peers who share similar interests and passions as you. From thea- tre to government, to culinary arts to academic competition teams, WHS offers an array of ways to connect and get involved. It doesn’t matter if you do not see a club that interests you; you can start your own! In general, clubs meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, starting at 2:49, after the 5th period bell. We encourage students to explore as many clubs as they would like, but it is vital to choose one or two and really commit to those clubs. We believe that students can have more im- pact when they are invested at a deeper level. Studies indicate that those students who are involved develop stronger leadership skills, work ethic, and academic preparedness. Clubs and activities are what make high school memorable, so what are you waiting for? Get involved today! Should you have questions or need assistance with a club, please feel free to contact us. We are here to help you find au- thentic, rewarding connections. Let’s make this a great year!

“Extra curricular activities for me became such an important aspect of my life. “Clubs and activities taught me accountability and time Being involved in those sports teaches you hard work, dedication, team work, management, as well as giving a feeling of belonging!” competitive drive, perseverance, time management, and responsibility. All of these lessons have become the forefront of how I live today.” —Dani Staley, Class of 2013 —-Maurice Fuller II , Class of 2011

“I never applied myself too much towards my academia; however, I was super “Extracurriculars taught me how to balance a busy involved in after school activities.

If it weren't for my time on the dance team, I wouldn't all, I gained invaluable social skills and relationships have been offered the various summer camp jobs as a dance teacher…” that have constantly helped me in my everyday life.” —Chase Andrzejewski , Class of 2014 —Sam Greathouse, Class of 2014

“For me, it was about something I was interested in “Clubs gave me opportunity to get outside of the "bubble" of my own life! I was rather than my parents wanting me to do something. able to see others in need, see situations I would not have volunteered for It helped me be less introverted and be able to see otherwise, and interact with teachers in a non- classroom setting.” what I liked and didn't like.” —Christi Southerland, Class of 2003 —Ashley Brown, Class of 2001

“My clubs and activities MADE my high school experience. Being involved in different aspects of school was so rewarding and truly impacted the person I became throughout those years. At the most fundamental level, the activities allowed me to grow from the beginning...I believe that these extra activities skyrocketed my potential for high school success and very well prepared me for my life after high school.” —Abigail Dolbeer, Class of 2016

Club Meetings and Involvement In general, clubs meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, starting at 2:49, after the 5th period bell. Most clubs meet twice per month, while others have more meetings before school or beyond 3:30pm. We encourage students to explore as many clubs as they would like, but it is vital to choose one or two and really commit to those clubs.
