At Westminster Academy, we encourage the relentless pursuit of excellence in all things. This pursuit is marked with discipline, diligence, and resilience—whether in academics, the arts, or athletics. One mark of this commitment to excellence in athletics is continuing to play at the next level in college. This is especially so when a Division I or Division II institution offers an athletic scholarship and student-athletes sign a National Letter of Intent.

​​Dear WA Community,  The first Tuesday, after the first Monday in November, is Election Day. The significance of that day is not lost, as the airwaves, mailboxes, and most street corners attest. Nor should we ignore its importance, for as Christian citizens, we have a duty to participate in the electoral process. But, even more than a duty, we have the opportunity to participate civically in our own governance. This is a blessing, a rich heritage, and the envy of much of the world. While that particular Tuesday in November is critical to our republic, it is not the only date early...
