Nomination Rounds! Each trimester, we recognize five individuals who exemplify the

spirit of the RockStar Award.

A reminder of what the award is about:

The RockStar Award is intended to recognize students and staff who exemplify the

qualities like hard work, innovation, dedication, and creativity that we at Westfield High

School strive to achieve. These individuals work hard every day to enrich the community

as well as the school in all that they do. Each trimester, one student from each grade is

chosen as a ROCKStar, as well as one staff member.

These faculty members including but not limited to secretaries, counselors, custodial

staff, cafeteria workers, and teachers have strong work ethic and commitment to

Westfield that make them an integral part of making a great community.

When nominating an individual to receive the ROCKStar Award, please include a

description of why you think they deserve to be recognized as rock stars.

Thank you for your time and kindness in making sure the special people in our school are

rewarded for all that they do!
