Weston High School is a small school in a rural area. The resources are limited but I feel my child received a decent education.

Weston High School has a great community that is willing to go above and beyond for the school. The environment at Weston is a loving and caring environment. They don't turn anyone down no matter what their situation is. The sports at Weston are fair and work hard to get where they are.
