Welcome to Westover High School,

I am Thomas Benson, your new principal at Westover High School.  I am thrilled to begin the new school year at Westover, and look forward to meeting students,staff, parents, and community members.

 Our theme for the school year is “Powerful Beyond Measure: Wolverine Pride.”  We must continue to celebrate the history of the Westover community and value our role in creating a new culture of high expectations for all stakeholders..

 As I make this transition to Westover, I am aware of the anticipation and eagerness that accompanies new leadership in any organization.  I know that change can create both excitement and anxiety.  It is my goal to spend my first several months learning about our school and all of it stakeholders,  I eagerly anticipate getting to know the Westover community, and learning your hopes and dreams for our school.  What is important to you about Westover High School?  What do you want to learn more about?  What are we proud of?

 Finding out the answers to these questions is one of my priority goals.  I believe that genuine collaboration fosters ownership of a rich school culture.  Supporting our kids to do well at school, and in their lives, is the center of our work.  I am honored to have been selected to serve this community, and will work hard to gain your trust as Westover’s principal.

 Thomas Benson
