Listed below you will find a synopsis of awards received by the club. We are very proud of our tradition of Excellence!
Each year, the GISA selects only five actors per classification for All-State Acting Awards. Westwood has been fortunate to have students selected for this outstanding honor.
*In 2007 and 2008 the GISA did not have a competition, but ranked plays according to another scoring system. Westwood School received the highest possible ranking of superior in those years.
