High School World language students enjoyed exploring medieval art at The MET Cloisters in New York City on Friday. A beautiful day for a great trip!
Congratulations to the champions of the 2024-2025 debate season, Angel Morales and Daniel Shotkin, who came in first place at Friday’s varsity championship tournament here at Westwood High School. Angel and Daniel had a perfect debate record this season, and now for the first time in Westwood history, have brought home a championship title to our school. An equally impressive shout-out to Leah Tatis who was selected as Best Judge of the tournament. What a fabulous way to end Westwood debate’s best season yet. Anyone interested in joining our school’s debate team should see Ms. Vallorano. Our team looks forward to begin preparations for next year!

TV/Film students had a fantastic time filming our Design Thinking Class at American Dream! Our Cardinal even had a dance-off with Angry Birds "Red"! "Bird Bowl 2025" and more exciting WTV content at American Dream will air soon on the WTV_Network YouTube channel!
Mr. DeBlasio’s Design Thinking class returned to the American Dream to present their many ideas to the Coca-Cola Marketing team. While presenting, they learned they were right on the mark with their ideas on “Prizes/Rewards”, “Big Snow”, “Dreamworks and Amusement”, and the Special Olympics. Hopefully, some of these will be put to good use! Great experience for our students!
