 Graduation Announcements

Graduation Announcements are being sold in the main office. These are NOT graduation tickets. They are simply nice announcements to serve as a keepsake for graduation or to send to family members and friends.  The cost is $2.00 per announcement (10 announcements per family while they last). We accept checks (made payable to Westford Academy, memo section “Graduation Announcements”) and cash. Please see Mrs. Langille to purchase.

Bold.org Scholarship Opportunities

Bold.org has recently announced new scholarship opportunities - please see below for more information:

Bold.org, a student scholarship platform, recently announced scholarships for Black students. All of these scholarships will be awarded to students who show prowess not only in their studies/career but in their ambition to achieve beyond barriers they have faced in their lifetime. At Bold.org, we recognize the generational strife that persists in Black communities across the country as a result of poor representation, systemic oppression, and a continuation of bigoted acts against their community.

We hope to support more equitable opportunities for Black students and to promote a more diverse future for all people in the US.
