What is Project '79?
Project ‘79 is an alternative college preparatory program within Westfield High School for students who want school to feel a little different. Project ‘79 combines a strong academic program, with an equally strong humanistic approach to education where the whole student is considered. As students are supported to explore their strengths, they work to better understand themselves as learners and people, which provides opportunities to reach their fullest potential.
