Westridge
2025-2026 REPORT ON GIVING
At Westridge, girls don’t have to choose one way to be, one thing to pursue. They can be ambitious and curious, collaborative and independent, focused and playful—often all in the same week. And in return, Westridge is all in for girls. With the support of our generous community, Westridge makes space for girls to freely explore their passions, try new things, make mistakes, and write their own story in a space made especially for them.
We are grateful to have exceeded our Westridge Annual Fund goal,
raising $1.8 million in the 2025-2026 school year.
Participation
4th grade families reached an exciting milestone: 100% parent participation in the 2025-2026 Westridge Annual Fund! This achievement is a testament to the collective power of a community that shows up for Westridge. Congratulations and a warm thank you, Class of 2034!
“We support the Annual Fund because it continues to allow Westridge to offer equitable opportunities to our girls and enables families to show up in ways that can be seen and felt in all spaces, including extracurricular opportunities and educational growth.”
— Jaytiana and Jamal Blackwood, 4th & 9th Grade Parents
Every family’s participation adds to the impact of the Westridge Annual Fund, supporting the programs, opportunities, and people that make a Westridge education so special.
It doesn't stop at Westridge—creating infinite space to explore, pursue passions, and learn from failure enables impact beyond the classroom, too.

Michelle was honored for her extensive work as an endocrinologist conducting research on immune systems related to rare pediatric diseases. During Alumnae Weekend, she spoke about how a Westridge education opened the door to possibilities that led to a career of confidence and passion.
"At Westridge, I found support for whatever passion I had and pursued a lot of different things ... confidence is the most important thing that I got out of Westridge."
