History
As a part of the Fulton County School System consolidation plan, Westlake was formed in 1988 by the closing of Westwood High School and Lakeshore High School. The new school used the old Westwood High School facility until 2008 when Westlake moved into a new state of the art school next to the old campus. Its motto is Where Excellence is Deliberate.
