Senior Dedications
The Westlake High School Baccalaureate is offering Senior Dedications for three donation levels. The dedication will feature a slide displayed at Baccalaureate with your choice of text, with additional options to include a photo and to share your dedication on our website and social media.
Scholarship Sponsorships
Additionally we are offering the opportunity for families, faith centers, and businesses to sponsor one of the two scholarships that we will give to two seniors in 2025. With your donation, we can continue the tradition of recognizing seniors who have lived their faith in extraordinary ways in their high school careers.
We are grateful for the Family of Ava Enochs for their generous sponsorship of a 2025 Baccalaureate Scholarship.
Donate & Dedicate
Please find the form for reserving your dedication and/or to sponsor a scholarship here. If you do not wish to create a dedication, we warmly welcome donations. Please see our donations page for donation options.
We are thrilled to offer these opportunities for families, faith centers, and businesses to express their support for the Class of 2025 graduates as they reach this special part of their educational and personal development journeys. Donations received from these dedications will directly fund the expenses associated with the production of this beautiful service, and will ensure that the rich Westlake High School Baccalaureate tradition can continue for many years to come.
Westlake High School Baccalaureate is a non-profit, with tax receipts provided for donations.
What is the Baccalaureate?
The Westlake High School Baccalaureate is a student led, inter-faith service held to offer blessings to seniors of all faiths. The ceremony includes student statements, readings, and live music provided by Westlake High School Fine Arts students from band, choir, and orchestra. The time and talent of students is an essential component of this service. Over the 20+ years since its inception, the Westlake High School Baccalaureate service has evolved to evolved and grown, now enjoying a large portion of the graduation class students and their families. This is a FREE event and requires no tickets.
How We Operate
The WHS Baccalaureate is entirely funded by generous families like you and donations from various faith communities. The Westlake Baccalaureate Committee, comprised of volunteer parents of students at Westlake High School, produces the event each year. We warmly welcome donations and volunteers.
