Honors for Weston Students and Student Athletes

May 2, 2019 — On April 29, hours before U.S. News & World Report ranked Weston High School number two in a list of Connecticut’s best high schools (a fraction behind Darien, wait until next year), the Board of Education honored a number of outstanding Weston students and student athletes for their accomplishments.

Finalists — and a winner — of National Merit Scholarships were recognized, as were students who created a C-SPAN documentary, won the skiing state championship, became all-state and all-New England athletes, and qualified for the international Odyssey of the Mind finals.
