The Westfield Promise is a Massachusetts Designated Early College Pathway program, in partnership with Holyoke, Springfield, and Westfield Public Schools. 

The program has as its vision that; “High school students completing The Westfield Promise will be empowered with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to enter, persist in, and graduate from college.”

For the 2019-20 academic year, there are 193 students across 11th and 12th grades, and four high schools enrolled in the program.  They will graduate high school with at least 12 college credits, and take part in connection and engagement components of The Westfield State Experience (WSE), bridging the gap between high school and college.
