Westland Middle School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westland Middle School is a school in Bethesda, Maryland.

Recently, the school has gained some notoriety, because, in 1963, future president of Chile Michelle Bachelet, attended Westland, while her father, Alberto Bachelet, was assigned to the military mission at the Chilean Embassy in Washington, D.C.. Her classmates included the children of Congressmen Donald Fraser and Henry Reuss. At the time the school was called Western Junior High School. In 2006, while on her first state visit to the United States as president of Chile, Bachelet returned to Westland and met with teachers and students.
