2024 Senior Awards Ceremony Honors Over 150 Students
Over 150 WHS seniors were awarded scholarships and awards totaling over $70,000 by local community organizations, colleges and universities, alumni groups, staff groups and departments at the 2024 Senior Awards Ceremony.
Parents, community members, and WHS staff packed the Whearty Theater to celebrate some of our most outstanding members of the WHS Class of 2024. WHS Principal Keith Schenker and Coordinator of Counseling Nick DiPaolo emceed the evening.
Mr. Schenker said, "I can hardly remember you as freshmen, you arrived ready in every way! Vince Lombardi said, 'The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.' Perseverance is a characteristic of successful individuals. Enjoy these final days of your time here at Westlake, you have not only persevered but excelled."
He closed his opening remarks with a favorite quote of his, by Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.”
