Cadigan, a graduate of Westfield High School, has served for the past seven years as the supervisor of science, technology and engineering for Westfield Public Schools.

At the completion of the second year of the “Past meets Present” project, Westfield High School tenth graders who had teamed up with residents of Armbrook Village came to the assisted living community for a wrap-up and lunch with their new senior friends.
Armbrook Enriched Life Director Rebecca Fondakowski said the students and residents had met three times at Westfield, MA High School to talk and answer questions. “The first time, they were nervous and anxious, but they became more comfortable,” she said.

Family and friends from Westfield High School’s transition program came out to Shaker Farms Country Club on June 9 for a meal to celebrate three young adults during the 2025 “Bridge to Adulthood.” The ceremony recognizes the young adults who have turned 22 in 2025 and are leaving the Westfield Public School system.
Carolyn Busiere, lead teacher, said the three honorees, Julia Bardakova, Javian Headley and Logan Sanford, have been on a journey in the school system and entered the transition program to further work on life skills, community investment, self-advocacy, work training and college: turning challenges into strengths, interests and vision while developing true character. “You have displayed hard work, determination and resilience,” she told them.
