Leading the Way | Meet Westover’s 2026 Student Heads of School
At Westover, leadership takes many forms across our student body. In the 2024-2025 school year, 95% of Westover students identified as a student leader.
Whether serving as Rasin Center or Class Representatives, championing sustainability initiatives, or leading by example in the classroom, students find countless ways to grow as leaders within our community.
Among these opportunities, one of the most significant is the election of the Student Heads of School. Each year, eight rising seniors are chosen by students, faculty, and staff to serve as the collective voice of the student body. Together, they unite their individual strengths and shared love for Westover to foster dialogue, strengthen community connections, and create meaningful experiences for all—continuing a legacy of student leadership that generations of Westover alums will remember.
