  I think some mention should be made about the rampant drug abuse, the racial tensions, and the violence that plaugued Westhill in the early 70's; and how the adminsitration, the faculty, and the school board all buried their heads in the sand while these things went on. They are all a significant part of the school's history that have been totally brushed aside over the years. Someone still has to explain to me, how the situation was allowed to deteriorate to the extent that armed police officers had to be called in to patrol the building and grounds of a school located within one of the most affluent neighborhoods in southern Fairfield County.
