On April 8, 2019, the community of Westfield mourned the unexpected passing of WHS Principal Dr. Derrick Nelson. Now, exactly one year has elapsed since WHS lost both a leader and a friend. Amidst all of the fear and concern regarding the current coronavirus pandemic, it is imperative that we take the time to properly reflect and honor Dr. Nelson. He was a man beloved by his community, and Dr. Nelson’s legacy will continue to be remembered for years to come. 

Please watch the video below created by Hi’s Eye using the words and images of administrators, teachers and students to reflect upon Dr. Nelson one year later.
