Westwood Regional School District

Westwood Regional High School's artists stole the show at the Young Expressions Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Art Center of Northern New Jersey. Six talented students showcased their creativity, bringing home a stunning array of awards.

Toma Amirbekova’s creative self-portrait represented us in the Drawing category, while Olivia Russo’s digitally manipulated landscape showcased our work in Photography. Elizabeth Whyard’s acrylic still-life acrylic earned an Honorable Mention in Painting, and Jonas Martinez’s original mixed-media digital drawing secured 2nd Place in Digital Art. Emily Boyce’s block print earned a well-deserved 1st Place in Printmaking, and Isabella Cassai wowed the judges with her innovative mixed-media self-portrait, securing 1st Place BEST IN SHOW.

Congratulations to all these exceptional artists for representing Westwood Regional with such distinction.

Each exam will last approximately two and a half hours, and students will return to their regularly scheduled classes upon completion. They will be responsible for any missed work during the testing period.

The SAT & ACT exam are optional tests and if your child chooses not to take it, they will attend school as usual. Check your Genesis for registration letter.
