Our mission is to holistically empower student leaders to become innovative, compassionate, globally minded members of society. 

Westwood Junior High is proud to host the Math, Science, and Leadership Magnet, a program designed to support student growth, foster curiosity, problem-solving, and leadership.

Students in the Math and Science Magnet engage in accelerated and real-world coursework that emphasize inquiry, innovation, and applied learning. The Leadership Magnet develops students’ communication, organization, and decision-making skills through project-based learning, community involvement, and opportunities to lead within and beyond the classroom.

Through a supportive and welcoming environment, Westwood’s magnet program helps students prepare for success in high school and beyond. To learn more about the magnet pathways, programs, and application, explore the “Magnet” section of our website.
