The school opened in 2010 as the first magnet school in Summerlin, a community in the western Las Vegas Valley.[2] It is administered by the Clark County School District. West Tech offers nine programs to prepare students for a career in the field selected.[2][3][4] HistoryAfter one and a half years of construction costing $83.5 million, West Tech opened to students on August 30, 2010. It is the last high school built under a 1998 bond program to revitalize schools in the Clark County School District (CCSD), which involved the construction, replacement, and rehabilitation of more than 100 schools.[2][3] For its first year of operation, West Tech admitted 750 freshmen and sophomores.[2][4] In December 2014, student Angelique Clark applied to begin a pro-life club at the school; however, the administration denied her application, claiming the subject was too controversial.[5] She proceeded to send two demand letters to CCSD, but when she failed to receive a response, she sued West Tech in August 2015. The following month, the school agreed to the formation of the club.[6] FacilitiesThe school is built on {{convert|42|acre}} of land at the foothills of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The buildings of the school occupy {{convert|224,884|ft2|0}}.[2] A rotating solar panel and a ground heat source exchange system help to power the campus. There is also a computerized weather station and four greenhouses, which are used to facilitate students' learning in horticulture, biotechnology, and other fields.[4] West Tech also includes multiple computer labs and a student WiFi system.[2][3] AcademicsWest Tech offers the following nine programs: Biomedical sciences, Biotechnology, Nursing, Sports Medicine, Environmental Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Business Management, Digital Arts & Media, and Cybersecurity.[2][3][4] Students select one of these programs to study throughout high school, designed to assist them in future studies and a career in the field.[4] West Tech utilizes the Google Apps for Education, which grant each student a free e-mail account, access to Google Sites, and other services.[4] Clubs and activitiesThe school offers several career and technical student organizations (CTSOs), including DECA, FBLA, Skills USA, and HOSA. There are no NIAA sports teams.[4] The school also offers two honors societies, including NHS and Mu Alpha Theta. Some students choose to start their own clubs with the assistance of faculty and classmates. Notable faculty
