History
Westfield was first conceived to help deal with the extensive overcrowding at adjacent schools, primarily Centreville and Chantilly High Schools. Plans for Westfield High school might have originated in 1995 when it was conceived as West County High School. Westfield's colors and mascot were chosen by the local community in the months before its grand opening in 2000. By 2005, Westfield had grown so large that it had become one of the largest four-year high schools in Virginia. An additional wing was planned to help deal with the overcrowding, and was completed in summer of 2006.
