George Westinghouse High School is a community where all members support each other to achieve their potential.  Our school is structured into three smaller learning communities (SLC), which we refer to as academies.   All ninth grade students begin in our Ninth Grade Success Academy, which is a nurturing environment wherein students receive both assistance and enrichment in literacy, mathematics and technology.  Toward the end of the first year, students will choose between two of our career themed academies:  Electrical Technology or Virtual Enterprise Technology.  There are three career pathways in each of these academies.  Internship opportunities and project based learning are embedded into students’ three year sequence.  All academies are supported by dedicated teachers, guidance counselors, social workers and administrators who share a common goal of providing a rigorous education for all students with ample support.
