Welcome to the Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets… home of the Comets. At the Westchester Magnets, we embrace project-based learning.
At Westchester, we offer a high school experience unlike anything else in the Los Angeles area. Our three magnets provide individualized learning opportunities within their small, thematically-aligned programs. But, together, our magnets form one school, providing the widest possible array of athletic and extra-curricular opportunities. We are LAUSD’s only magnet that offers an authentic comprehen
sive high school experience. Our students synthesize content from all of their classes to create projects and conduct experiments with real-world applications. Our students engage in hands-on learning as they experience instruction aligned to the themes of our three magnets: Aerospace and Aviation, Environmental and Natural Science, and Health and Sports Medicine. In our Aviation and Aerospace Magnet, students will have the opportunity to participate in flight simulation. They also take a shop class where they learn applied physics by working on the engine of a real Cessna airplane, which is located on campus. In our Environmental and Natural Science Magnet, students will monitor renewable electricity generated by our on-campus solar power plant. They also take courses focused on urban ecology and green construction. In our Health and Sports Medicine Magnet, students will take Athletic Training classes using our state-of-the-art Training Room and Sports Medicine Clinic. They also study nutrition in our Culinary Arts kitchen. We are able to offer these innovative programs through partnerships with local organizations and businesses like Loyola Marymount University, Boeing, Chevron, and the Team Heal Foundation. Because of the contributions of our partners, our school is able to offer opportunities for internships, field trips, guest lectures, and demonstrations by scientists and other professionals. Our teachers are among the best in LAUSD, and, on a daily basis, they challenge themselves to match the commitment and motivation of our outstanding student body. But life as a Westchester Comet isn’t limited to the classroom. We require every student to be involved in at least one extra-curricular activity. Students participate countless organizations, including clubs, student government, band, drama, cheerleading, drill team, and our nationally renowned athletics program. We believe that a great school produces well-rounded students, ready to succeed in college, pursue careers, and enjoy life. Being a science magnet, we teach students to view life as experiment, to explore the world’s possibilities with a spirit of scientific inquiry. At Westchester, we are “the future of scientific thought… today.”
