Westfield High School is a high school located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, United States.
The school, which serves grades 9-12, is a part of the Spring Independent School District. The school, in the Westfield community, has a Houston, Texas postal address. At one time it also served Remington Ranch.
The school was built in 1976, and was originally called "Spring High South", serving the district's freshmen and sophomore students while the junior and senior students attended the main Spring High School campus. In the 1981-1982 school year it became a full four-year high school and its name was changed to "Westfield."
Westfield High School is accredited by the Texas Education Agency and the Southern Association for Secondary Schools and Colleges.
In the spring of 2002, the school received designation as a Recognized School by the Texas Education Agency. For the last two years, the Lone Star Cup has ranked Westfield in the top five schools for excellence in academics and athletics in Texas 5-A schools.
Approximately 3,200 students in grades 10-12 attend Westfield beginning in mid-August and ending in early June. Most classes are 50 minutes long for seven periods a day. The fifth period is 70-minutes long to enable students to earn up to 7 credits per school year. The school year is divided into two, eighteen-week semesters.
In 1976 Spring High School South opened in 1976, taking ninth graders from Spring High School. In 1981 and 1982 Spring High South renamed itself Westfield High School and became its own four-year institution. In 2003 the Westfield Performing Arts Center opened. It includes a performance hall with 1,199 permanent seats. In January 2004 the former Bammel Middle School moved to a new location; its previous location became the Westfield Ninth Grade Center. In 2005 the performing arts center was renamed the Philip K. Geiger Performing Arts Center, after a former band director.
