Westlake High School

History Westlake High School is a 9th - 12th grade high school located in Atlanta, Georgia. As a part of the Fulton County School System consolidation plan, Westlake was formed in 1988 by the closing of Westwood and Lakeshore High Schools. The newly formed school used the old Westwood facility until 2008, when Westlake moved into a new state-of-the-art building next to the old campus. Mission / Vision In keeping with our commitment to excellence we empower our students to become independent, life-long learners in an environment where students can learn and teachers can teach. Through a rigorous and meaningful curriculum we lay the foundation for our students to become successful and vital members of an ever-changing society. Academic Programs Westlake excels in both academics and athletics. The magnet program at Westlake seeks to provide an academically rigorous foundation for math, science, engineering, and media-based careers. The STEAM based program develops partnerships with universities and businesses so that students have access to relevant instructional and internship experiences in medical science, engineering, and media. As of August 2017, Westlake incorporated the International Baccalaureate program into it's curriculum. Students can pursue either the full diploma or the certificate program.
