History
In 1976, Spring High School 9th and 10th grade students were moved into a separate building called, "Spring High South." In 1981, Spring High South was converted into a four-year high school and was renamed, "Westfield."

In February 2017 the district proposed redrawing the attendance boundaries of its high schools; this would take effect in the 2020-2021 school year. The district also plans to establish one ninth grade center for each comprehensive high school.
