Welcome Back!
Many of our fall sports and activities are coming to an end and we are so encouraged by the determination and tenacity of our ROCKS students. This past weekend, our band, the Pride of Westfield, was named the 2022 ISSMA Scholastic "A" State Champion at Franklin Central High School and our Cross Country teams excelled in their performance at Semi-State. Additionally our Varsity Competition Cheer team placed in the top 5 at prelims and will advance to compete at state on November 5th. As always, I am forever grateful for all of our students' dedication and am continuously proud to be a ROCK.
