The officers of Westfall High School’s National Honor Society recently presented their 2025–2026 Community Service Projects to the Board of Education.

Their projects reflect a strong commitment to service, including refreshing and stocking local Community Cupboards, cleaning and caring for school and church grounds, and spreading kindness throughout the district.

We are incredibly proud of these student leaders for continuing to make a positive impact both inside and outside the classroom.
