Heads up, 8th grade parents! We’ve checked the Westover High School link, and at this time, the Magnet Program application has NOT yet been released. The link currently only reflects the AMA – Academy of Medical Arts program at Westover. No worries—please stand by and be on the lookout for the official Westover High School Magnet Program application link, which will be shared as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
