Westview Hosts Annual Fundraising Luncheon
April 16, 2026
At the end of March, The Westview School hosted its annual Fundraising Luncheon at the Junior League of Houston, bringing together families, friends, and supporters for an afternoon that highlighted the impact of a Westview education.
A meaningful tradition of the luncheon is hearing directly from members of the Westview community, and this year’s speakers offered powerful and personal reflections. Middle School Math teacher and Westview parent Katie Hazeldine shared her family’s journey to finding the school and the difference it made in her son’s life. “At Westview, we found an environment where Finley was ‘right,’” she said. “For the first time, he didn’t have to try to fit into something that wasn’t built for him.” She spoke about the confidence, independence, and sense of belonging her son gained during his years at Westview, and how those experiences continue to shape his path today. Reflecting on her role now as a teacher, she added, “You can see students grow in real, visible ways, and it happens here every day.”
Middle School student Preston Hogan also took the stage, sharing his experience growing up at Westview and preparing for the transition to high school. “Westview helped me communicate better, understand more, and feel more confident,” he shared. “Supporting Westview means helping students like me have the opportunity to learn and succeed in a school that understands who we are.” His story was a reminder of the lasting impact of a learning environment designed to meet students where they are.
The program was led by Westview’s Middle School Student Council, whose energy and leadership helped set the tone for the afternoon. The room was filled with a strong sense of community and shared commitment to supporting Westview’s mission and the students it serves.
