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.
Our seniors recently participated in a Pre-Prom Safety Program designed to promote responsible decision-making as they prepare for prom, graduation, and the summer months ahead.
The program began with a live demonstration on the front lawn involving police, fire, and EMS personnel from both the Township of Washington and Westwood. First responders worked around a heavily damaged vehicle placed on school grounds, providing students with a powerful visual reminder of the devastating consequences that can result from impaired or distracted driving.
Following the demonstration, seniors attended an impactful presentation by Steven’s Story, which further reinforced the importance of making safe and responsible choices related to driving, alcohol, and substance use.
These experiences served as important reminders that the decisions students make can have lifelong consequences, not only for themselves, but also for their families, friends, and community.
Thank you to our local first responders, as well as the presenters from Steven’s Story, for sharing their time, expertise, and personal experiences with our students. We are grateful for their continued partnership and for all they do to support the safety and well-being of our school community.

Italian 3, Italian 3 Honors, Italian 4, Italian 4 Honors, AP Italian, and ESL students participated in a field trip to the American Labor Museum. Housed in the Botto House National Historic Landmark, a beautiful 1908 Victorian home, the museum once belonged to Italian immigrant and silk mill worker Pietro Botto and his wife, Maria. The house played a significant role in American labor history, serving as a meeting place for more than 20,000 silk mill workers during the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike. The strikers fought for safer working conditions, the abolition of child labor, and the establishment of an eight-hour workday. After the informative and enjoyable tour of the house, students had the opportunity to play bocce using the original bocce balls that belonged to the Botto family.
The day concluded with a wonderful lunch at Culto Italiano, a takeout pizzeria owned by Corrado and Angelo, both born and raised in Naples, Italy. The pizza, panini, and desserts were outstanding. A special highlight was the delicious sfogliatelle that they prepared for our group. It was a memorable day that combined Italian history, culture, and cuisine.
