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 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 Pathway 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. The courses that count toward each Pathway are outlined in the Program of Studies and on the links to the left. 

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.
