Westhill High School

In 2024, the City of Stamford received grant funding from the State of Connecticut to construct a new high school on the current 32-acre site at Westhill High School. Designed to accommodate up to 2,458 students, the new Westhill High School will feature nearly 100 classrooms, including general education, science, special education, and specialized learning spaces designed to support the school’s career pathway programs.

The new high school supports long term goals for the City and Stamford Public Schools, and the construction will use readily available materials, be aesthetically compatible with the surrounding environment, and meet or surpass LEED Silver Certification's environmental goal.

The City has retained architects The S/L/A/M Collaborative and Amenta Emma to lead the design from Concept Design through Construction. Collier's Project Leaders is facilitating project budgeting, design review, coordination, and construction monitoring.

A construction access road via Long Ridge has been built to accommodate the campus-wide construction, which began in April 2026. The work is phased so that the existing school will remain in operation during the construction of the new building.
