History

In 1976, Spring High School 9th and 10th grade students were moved into a separate building called, "Spring High South." In 1981, the building was converted into a four-year high school and was renamed, "Westfield."[5][6]

In 2004, the district moved Westfield 9th grade students to a separate building. In 2009, Westfield 9th grade students were moved back into the main campus.[7][8] 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.[9]
