A Look to the Future
A Strategic Plan to Guide Westview
The Westview School Board of Directors has a clear vision for our school. It is for us to be “the best little school on the planet.” The men and women who serve on our board have a long history with The Westview School, and autism is something near and dear to their hearts.
