New Student Information

Students transferring to Westmont High School MUST reside within District 201’s boundaries. Please see the district map to verify these boundaries:

* The family must be physically occupying the residence on a daily basis. Students who are enrolled and later found not to be legal residents are subject to immediate dismissal. Illinois law has made it a crime to knowingly or willfully present false information regarding the residency of a student for purposes of enabling that student to attend Westmont High School when the student is known to be a non-resident of District 201.
