History

[edit]

Westland Hialeah Senior High School was established in August 2007, becoming the fourth public high school to serve the city of Hialeah, and was built to alleviate overcrowding in the three high schools already serving the area. The school opened on January 7, 2008, and serves students in grades nine through twelve.

The attendance boundaries cover a large part of southwestern Hialeah, an area that was previously served mainly by Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School and Miami Springs Senior High School.

The Class of 2010 was the first graduating class of the school, and the founding class, Class of 2011, graduated in June 2011.
