Businesses: Host a Student Intern!
Westlake High School seniors are seeking internship opportunities working in local business and professional areas. As the program is only in its second year of implementation, there is a growing need for internship opportunities.
Some of the areas that our students are hoping to secure internships with include: Marketing/Advertising, Nursing, Veterinary Science, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Pediatrics/Obstetrics, Nutrition and Dietary Science. Students are exploring many other areas of interest as well.
If you, or someone you know, works in a field that can support a student-intern, please call the WHS office at 769-8311. For more information, see the WHS Senior Experience Internship Booklet.

From the Superintendent

 
  
Welcome to the Mount Pleasant Central School District!
 
Our district is located in central Westchester County and is comprised of Hawthorne and Columbus Elementary Schools, Westlake Middle School and Westlake High School.  The district serves students from Hawthorne and Thornwood, as well as from portions of Valhalla and Pleasantville. Student enrollment is approximately 2,000.
 
The administration and faculty are dedicated and committed to providing a challenging and comprehensive education for each child. It is the primary goal of the district to encourage and nurture each student to fully develop his or her potential as a responsible constructive citizen of our society, and in that society to be a self-sufficient and self-fulfilled individual.
 
We invite parents and community members to become involved in the continuing development of the district's policies and direction through participation in Board of Education work sessions and monthly meetings, and by supporting the PTAs, Westlake Athletic Club and the Education Foundation.
