Westwood High School (Quebec)

On July 1, 2003[2], Hudson High School and Vaudreuil County High School were divided into Westwood High School Senior Campus located in Hudson, Quebec which offers secondary III, IV, and V education, and Westwood High School Junior Campus located in St. Lazare, offering secondary I & II education. These two campuses serve the Hudson and St. Lazare areas, as well as 24 other surrounding communities, up to the Ontario border.

The land where the junior campus is today was known as lot #P603, which the town of St. Lazare purchased from Mrs. Shirley Hunt and her brother David Hunt. The land had been in the Hunt family for several generations. A referendum was also held, as some residents did not want the school to be built. It was what the local newspapers called "A ongoing saga" but in the March 29, 2000 edition of the Hudson Gazette, the front page reported "New school on schedule"

The junior campus, formerly known as Vaudreuil County High School was poised to open its doors in August 2000, but due to delays was not ready for over a month after the school year began[3]. The first principal of Vadreuil County was David Hatfield[4].

Only a year after its opening, the Lester B. Pearson School board decided to merge Hudson High School and Vaudreuil County High School, putting the junior grades at Hudson High and senior grades at Vaudreuil (opposite of today). This decision was met with anger, and a court battle from the community[5]. This took until the end of the 2002-2003 school year to resolve.

Westwood High School – Junior Campus is located in St. Lazare, roughly 24 kilometres west of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Originally,
