Westlake highlights student achievement, arts and career program growth
Summary
Board members reported superior ratings for the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble, three students represented the district in the 2026 Ohio governor's youth art exhibition, and career/ internship programs expanded, with internship signups rising from 11 to 44 over two years.
Board members gave a brief student-achievement update during the May 11 work session, celebrating music and arts recognition and growth in career-education opportunities.
A board member noted the Westlake Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble earned superior ratings at district competition. The transcript named three students selected for the 2026 Ohio governor's youth art exhibition: Lucy Craig (sophomore), Claire Pernod (senior), and Rhea Tabor (senior).
Administrators also reported expansion of career-education options. Goggins said the high-school internship program grew this year (from 11 to 17) and that 44 students have signed up for next year, indicating rising student interest. The district also completed its first year in Westshore career-education partnerships (welding, micro-soldering) and launched PLTW at Dover Intermediate and Lee Bernison Middle School; demand for those classes outpaced capacity.
These updates were provided as part of routine reports; no board action was taken on the student-achievement items.
