About Us
Westbury High School is located on the historic North Shore on beautiful Long Island, in Nassau County. Although part of the Westbury Union Free School District, the high school itself is located in Old Westbury on land that was donated to the district. The current building was originally built in 1958 with an additional wing added in 1964.
We serve the Village of Westbury, the New Cassel area and a portion of Old Westbury.
Accreditation
Westbury High School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Inc., Commission on Secondary Schools.
The mission of Westbury High School is to support students' academic, social, and moral growth; to foster a life-long commitment to learning and to encourage responsible contributions to society. We seek to create a partnership reflecting the high standards of supportive families, conscientious learners, committed staff, and an involved community. These goals should maximize potential for student success.
Demographic Information
Our student body is a diverse multi-cultural and multi-ethnic population with students representing many nations such as the countries of Central and South America, Haiti, Nigeria, China, India and Korea. There are over 10 languages spoken by the students and staff in the building.
Academic Programs
Our courses are designed to meet the individual needs of the students. Our faculty, along with the support of the parents and community, provide a learning environment in which all students can participate and achieve success in both academic and co-curricular activities. We believe that every student is able to earn a Regents diploma and to that end, we offer a full range of services towards that goal.
