The school was originally built as the Westside Skills Center in 1969. Students from neighborhood high schools attended the Skills Center for half-day programs where they studied vocational programs and attended their neighborhood high schools for standard academic classes.

From 1993 to 1994, there was only 2 graduating classes for a high school diploma.
