History
West High School was one of five Phoenix Union high schools that were built between 1949 and 1957, the others being Camelback, Carl Hayden, Central, and South Mountain.
Declining enrollment during the 1980s resulted in the closure of West, along with North High School, Phoenix Union High School, and East High School.
Metro Tech High School, then named Metro Tech Vocational Institute of Phoenix, was opened on the grounds of West High in 1985.
