George Westinghouse College Preparatory High School (formerly known as Westinghouse Area Vocational High School) is a public 4–year college preparatory selective enrollment high school located in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the west side of Chicago, Illinois, United States.[3] Operated by the Chicago Public Schools district, Westinghouse is named for American entrepreneur and engineer George Westinghouse. Westinghouse opened as a vocational school in 1960.

History

Opening in August 1932, Westinghouse was originally housed in a former candy factory. The building was designed by Schmidt, Garden and Martin in 1920 and was one of the largest examples of the Chicago School architectural style. The factory was converted to a high school building in 1969, opening as a neighborhood vocational high school for the 1970-71 school year.[4] A new, $106.5 million facility was built at 3223 West Franklin Boulevard in 2009.[5][6] The former building was demolished and now is the site of the school's football field.

Athletics

Westinghouse competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA).[7] The school sport teams are nicknamed Warriors. For many years an area basketball powerhouse,[8] The school's boys basketball team won the Illinois Class AA Boys' Basketball Championship in 2001–02 [9] and were Class AA fifteen times (1976–79, 1980–81, 1989–94, 1995–96, 1998–2000, 2003–06).

In 2014-15 the boys basketball team won a conference championship and a Regional Championship in 2016-17 season for the first time since the building reopened.[10][11]
