Pathways (Beginning with Class of 2024)
Personalized Learning Opportunities
What are Pathways?
Westwood Regional High School has instituted a Pathway Program beginning with the Freshman class in the 2020-21 school year. Some students know early on in their high school careers that they want to focus on a specific subject when selecting elective courses. A concentration in a certain area enables students to develop deep knowledge, and it also communicates a strong interest to colleges, universities, and employers. The Pathways Program is completely optional, as we recognize some students want to choose from a wide variety of electives in order to determine which subject areas they like most.

Pathway Requirements
In order to earn a Pathway distinction, students must complete a minimum of 20 credits in a specific pathway. These credits must be beyond any established graduation requirement within a given curricular area. Students who successfully meet the requirements will have a special designation on their transcripts.
*Please note that earning a pathway is not guaranteed as courses are subject to change and/or subject to seat availability.
How Can I Start Down A Pathway?
Communicate with your Guidance Counselor to let him/her know you are interested in earning a Pathway distinction. It is important to plan each year's schedule with the Pathway in mind in order to accrue the minimum number of credits.
