"Westminster School seeks curious and engaged students who want to grow and learn in a challenging and supportive environment. Students who are motivated to become their best selves both in and out of the classroom, taking advantage of the myriad of opportunities Westminster has to offer."
"At Westminster, we aspire to an extraordinarily ambitious commitment to secondary education, a commitment to nurture the joyous participation of our diverse school community across our entire program, from our academic classrooms, to our studios and labs, to our gyms, fields and rink, and to our service to Hartford community partners. Westminster students are inspired by opportunities to make a difference in all their endeavors."
"By the time students prepare to leave Westminster to further their academic experience in college, we hope to have instilled a nascent passion for a number of disciplines."
"Visual and performing artists at Westminster gain an understanding of traditions and methods while gaining confidence, analytical thinking and public presentation skills. Students also learn self-expression, collaboration and leadership while supportive faculty instill a lifelong appreciation of the arts."
David Chrzanowski Head of Visual and Performing Arts Department
"Athletic success at Westminster is measured not only by wins and losses, but through the bonds created between teammates and coaches, individual and team improvement, and personal growth. When students learn how to be competitors and how to cooperate with one another, they are better prepared to be citizens of the global world."
"Driven by a desire to serve young people and aware of the obligation of a private school to serve a public purpose, Westminster School's mission statement concludes with the call ‘to commit to a life of service beyond self.’ Westminster's Hartford partnership programs are the outgrowth of that mission with a direct impact on the young people of Hartford."
Kathleen Devaney Executive Director, Hartford Partnerships and Horizons at Westminster
The Brooks Family Track, located on the east side of the upper athletic fields, is a state-of-the-art composite track — visiting runners invariably remark on its “fast” feel — with the field events positioned around its edges.
The Brooks Family Track honors Alan Brooks ’55, his two sons, Fletcher ’89 and Ethan ’91, and his daughter Rebecca ’96, for their rich contribution to Westminster’s proud track tradition. The Brooks family members were all Westminster track captains and set school records before they moved on to captain their college teams and to win All-America honors in the sport.
A sign of our program's success is that more than half of the 34 event records for the boys and girls teams have been broken in the past dozen seasons. Many of our athletes have gone on to compete with distinction on collegiate track teams. Over the past decade, Martlets have claimed multiple Founders League event wins and titles at the NEPSTA Division 2 Championships.
Westminster’s track athletes square off against 22 schools, including the fierce competition of the Founders League. Grit and Grace are the basics of team spirit. Our athletes give their best efforts to the program and are willing to try new events and support fellow athletes in their efforts.
The Martlets are coached by Lee Huguley who began coaching the squad in 2010.
More school records are expected to fall this season. Check the Westminster sports schedule, then come out and watch history in the making.
