Roots & Wings

Roots & Wings is a vision and opportunity...a vision of what our school must do today to strengthen its foundations for tomorrow...an opportunity to strengthen our school’s most vital foundation – people! ...so our children can soar tomorrow!

Careful studies of our school’s current strengths and of the challenges we face show us:

  • Westchester’s greatest strength is in its people – the teachers and staff that work so faithfully to transform the lives of children.
  • Strengthening Westchester’s foundations must center on increasing the resources we devote to people.

The Vision

  • Ensuring our children will always be taught by excellent teachers.
  • Helping our children learn to succeed in a diverse, team-work driven world.
  • Reducing Westchester’s overdependence on tuition income.
  • Creating a multipurpose Student Activity Center from the renovations of the Thomas A. Finch Gymnasium building.
