Why choose WHHS? Because
(there is no other yeshiva high school where)
Students:
• Write, produce, direct and edit their school's recruitment video.
• Cater their school's events--hot dinner buffets for 200 people.
• Design their school's clothing line.
• Write the script for their school's annual theater production.
• Act as the official photographer for all their school's events.
WHHS is designed this way for a reason...
Only in a small school is it possible to create an environment where the contributions of every single student are vital to the school's success. THIS IS THE KEY TO WHY OUR STUDENTS THRIVE. Recognizing that the school is depending on them, our students rise to the occasion, often achieving far more than they thought they were capable of. In the process, they become more confident and proactive. They feel a sense of ownership and and stake a claim to "THEIR" school. This level of commitment and confidence is what allows us to challenge WHHS students to do their absolute best, both in and out of the classroom.
This "student-centric" approach is also evident in the very unique culture that WHHS is famous for; a culture that is carefully crafted to foster close bonds between students of different grades and academic levels, as well as different religious and social backgrounds. Students walk into the warm, accepting atmosphere of Westchester Hebrew High School and recognize that they are not just coming to school. They are coming to a place where they are happy and proud to be themselves.
