The WA Ghostwriter asked students and faculty if they were still proud to be attending WA with all the recent events that have occurred in Westford such as the boys' bathroom flood, budget cuts, and the viral penny dropping. Here is a gallery of the students' and faculty's opinions.

As a freshman, I didn’t expect the amount of pressure high school midterms had on students. I’ve always known midterms were important but never thought they would cause me the amount of stress they did. Midterms at WA count for 10% towards your final grade in every class. There are midterms for...

I normally don't really give many opinions about the goings-on at school, but every now and then, something so incredibly stupid comes along that makes me facepalm into my keyboard. WA had to remove the doors to the boys' bathrooms because of some of the things that were going on inside of them. It...

The tradition of setting New Year's resolutions dates back to nearly 4,000 years ago when ancient Babylonians promised gods to repay their dues and debts in the upcoming year. By either accomplishing or failing to do so, the pagan gods would either grant them a good or bad fortune. Similarly, people...

At the recent town meeting, school committee member Mingquan Zheng articulated that when he needed to learn hundreds of English words for a test, a nearly impossible task, his study of Latin helped him decipher their meanings through the numerous roots, prefixes, and suffixes.  However, the latest...

Well, it's that time of year again, at least in some ways. You're probably accustomed to the whole "back-to-school" process by now, and you're most likely being constantly reassured by your parents that high school is better than middle school, and the other usual cliches. But entering high school...

I cringe whenever faced with these three letters: GPA. I've pondered for the longest time for what it was about the term that made me uncomfortable, afraid even, and I came to the evident realization that I knew my father came to at my age: this is my first time where my own actions affect my life. GPA...

The shooting at Parkland, Florida, has left many concerns about school safety prominent in the public conscience. Due to this, new ideas are being brought up almost every day in an effort to improve security. One of the new and most popular ideas is one proposed by President Trump, where he recommends...

Yes. It is. Over the past few years, the topic of racial and queer oppression has really come front and center in today's culture. Especially with the recent presidential election, the talk of these topics has really been boosted over the past few months. Although some people don’t think it still...
