Hazelwood West High School is a public high school in the Hazelwood School District located in North St. Louis County, Missouri.
[edit] History
Hazelwood West High School began on the current site of Hazelwood Central High School in the 1970s. Students from West and Hazelwood East High School would alternate use of the Central campus with Central. The building that would become Hazelwood West opened in 1969 as a three-year-junior high school, Howdershell Jr. High. A greatly expanded building opened as a six-year facility in 1975, the present Hazelwood West High School, housing students from grades nine through twelve. In 2002, all district junior high schools were renamed middle schools. In 2005, two new building additions were added, a band room near the main entrance and a three-story classroom wing in the rear of the former middle school section. With the completion of four new middle schools in 2007, Hazelwood Central Middle, Hazelwood North Middle, Hazelwood Southeast Middle and Hazelwood West Middle, Hazelwood West was designated solely as a high school.
