Last Friday, 675 graduates crossed the stage at the 134th Commencement Ceremony for Westfield High School! Among this accomplished group are recipients of the prestigious Lilly and Wells scholarships, as well as an appointee to the United States Naval Academy. Graduates were offered an impressive $33,831,096 in scholarship opportunities, with $13,506,475 accepted. Westfield students also demonstrated academic excellence by taking 1,814 Advanced Placement (AP) exams, achieving an 85% passing rate, and producing 124 AP Scholars to date.

Beyond academic achievements, the Class of 2025 demonstrated incredible resilience, grit, and determination. This year, Westfield High School earned multiple awards and championship titles in both athletics and performing arts. We also saw the Class of 2025 make a major impact on our local community by adding 25 new clubs to WHS and raising funds and awareness for a variety of charities.

We couldn't be more proud of these students and their talent and dedication. They truly exemplify what it means to be Life Ready!

Earlier this week, Dr. Paul Kaiser was honored with the Distinguished Hoosier Award. This award is one of the highest recognitions given by the Governor of Indiana, celebrating exceptional residents who have made meaningful, lasting contributions to their communities and have earned a special place in the hearts of Hoosiers.

Dr. Kaiser’s 44-year career in education has left a profound impact—not only on Westfield Washington Schools, but on countless students, staff, and families across the state. We thank him for his dedication and wish him all the best in retirement!

This year, we say a bittersweet goodbye to 24 retirees who have collectively served more than 500 years in Westfield Washington Schools. Marcie Durbin alone has taught for an incredible 52 years—all right here in Westfield. Their impact will be felt for years to come, and we wish them well in the next chapter of their lives. Once a Rock, always a Rock!

We’re excited to welcome two new assistant principals for the upcoming school year: Jen Rivera at Carey Ridge Elementary and Chris Barker at Shamrock Springs Elementary!

Back in December, second grade students from Ms. Chelovitz's at Oak Trace Elementary brought holiday cheer to soldiers overseas with a thoughtful care-package project. Former librarian Mrs. Lane told the students of family friend First Lieutenant Josef Eisgruber and his platoon, inspiring this project. Flash forward to May, Josef payed a visit to Oak Trace to thank them for their kindness and to teach them about life in the military. The kids even learned how to properly salute!

The final week of school was packed with celebrations and unforgettable moments! Take a look at some of the fun activities that wrapped up the year!
