Westview High School students are taking on meaningful responsibilities around campus while developing problem-solving life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. We are so proud of this summer group’s hard work and growing independence!

Summer Camp is officially in session! We are so happy to have students back on campus. While exciting improvements continue around Westview, our campers have made themselves right at home in the Upper School. Here’s to a summer filled with fun, friends, and learning!

Congratulations to Gena Brown, this year’s Jane Stewart Teacher of the Year Award recipient!

Gena creates a classroom where students feel safe, supported, challenged, and most importantly, excited to learn. Colleagues shared that she goes above and beyond to meet students where they are. It is common for her to design lessons around students’ personal interests to keep them engaged and motivated.

Known for her creativity, patience, Gena has strong communication with families and the ability to balance accountability with kindness. She creates meaningful and individualized learning experiences for her students every day. One nomination even described her classroom as a “must-stop on tours” because it so clearly reflects the incredible work happening at Westview.

Most importantly, Gena helps students believe in themselves. We are so grateful for the compassion, dedication, and heart she brings to her students and families each day.

Congratulations to Gina Rafferty, this year’s Donna Marshall Non-Instructional Staff Person of the Year Award recipient!

Gina was described again and again as the person everyone relies on, the one who steps in and figures things out. Her support keeps the school running smoothly no matter what challenges might pop up. She troubleshoots problems and supports both students and staff on the daily. There are countless behind-the-scenes responsibilities she manages successfully, and she approaches every situation with patience, positivity, and determination.

Colleagues highlighted Gina’s incredible work ethic, problem-solving skills, flexibility, and kindness. Teachers know they can count on her, students know they are cared for, and our entire campus is stronger because of the work she does every single day. We are so thankful for Gina and all she brings to the Westview community.

Congratulations to Jessica Campos, this year’s Joel Stewart Instructional Assistant of the Year Award recipient!
