During the school year, the students of Harvard-Westlake — the school known for its widespread Prozac consumption, mediocre football team and parking lot often mistaken for an Audi dealership—ever so joyfully pursue excellence in all endeavors. And during the summer, they are just as committed to pursuing that excellence. Here are just a few of the incredible activities sure to impress you and any admissions committee:

Freed the Menendez brothers

Hunted rats in the sewers of Studio City

Chosen to be the very first Jewish Pope

Joined HW Venture 

Gave voice lessons to Beanie Feldstein ’11

Auditioned for the Blue Man Group (unfortunately wasn’t blue enough)

These activities are clearly very impressive; however, the greatest activity of the summer was the friends we made along the way.
