It is part of Westmont Community Unit School District 201. The student population of 500-600 students and building size are much smaller than adjacent public high schools such as Downers Grove North and Hinsdale Central. HistoryThe school was created as part of the newly formed CUSD 201 in Westmont in 1972, and first opened for education in September 1974. The community approved building the new high school in 1973, and the current Westmont High School building opened in October 1976. The school mascot, the Sentinel, is a sentry, or guard wearing a uniform of the school colors, burgundy and gold. The name is also word play from "Centennial," since the building was not opened until October 1976, the year of the United States Bicentennial. The school's original architecture was unique: the building was circular, and class areas were divided by movable partitions, an attempt to make the school easily adaptable to changing needs. More recently, some classrooms have been reconstructed with permanent walls and closing doors. Westmont High School did not have windows in its classrooms until they were recently installed before the 2012-2013 school year. Some of the adaptable rooms do not have walls. Sound echoes very well throughout the building, so the faculty has great control of the student body. AdministrationWestmont High School is part of the Community Unit School District 201.
