History
In 1976, Spring High School 9th and 10th grade students were moved into a separate campus known as Spring High School – South. In 1981, the campus was converted into a four-year high school known as Westfield High School.[4] [5]
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.[6] [7] 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.[8]
