Our district leaders gathered at the Louis V Gerstner Jr Center for Learning at the IBM campus in Armonk for two fantastic days of learning and planning.

The Mount Pleasant Board of Education held its annual reorganization meeting on July 9, 2025. Congratulations president Sara Beaty and Vice president Mike Griffin!

The Mount Pleasant Central School District concluded its graduation season with Westlake High School’s 61st commencement ceremony, celebrating students who had completed their 13-year educational journey from kindergarten through senior year.

The Westlake Middle School Class of 2025 gathered for their Moving Up Ceremony on a morning that would mark both an ending and a beginning. With slightly threatening skies overhead, the ceremony started promptly at 9:30 to ensure the weather wouldn’t interfere with this important milestone.

Under the blazing June sun, families gathered on the Columbus Elementary grounds for the annual fifth grade moving up ceremony. The heat was brutal—parents squinted and sought shade while teachers fanned themselves with programs. Principal Michael Cunzio welcomed everyone before Student Council President Peyton led the Pledge of Allegiance.

June 24 was the big day for our Hawthorne “Wildcubs” as Principal Anne Stern lovingly called her students. She opened the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance and Star-Spangled Banner before introducing Superintendent Dr. G.

We had so much fun at the Columbus Meet & Greet for families and new Principal Kevin Hanlon on the playground!

WHS seniors were awarded scholarships and awards totaling over $70,000 by local community organizations, colleges and universities, alumni groups, staff groups and departments at the 2025 Senior Awards Ceremony.

WHS celebrated an unprecedented year of athletic and academic success at their Varsity Awards Night, recognizing student-athletes who dominated both on the field and in the classroom.

We had so much fun at the Hawthorne Meet & Greet for families and new Principal Anthony Carolini in the courtyard this evening.
