• History & Memorable Moments

In 1957, Westminster was officially recognized as a city and as a result: the city needed more schools to accommodate the vast number of students that lived in Westminster. The school was built on approximately 57.1 acres of land and features five acres of working farm land where students can study agricultural science. The school's name and traditions are derived from the English Westminster Abbey. For example, the school's colors: red, black and white are the same as those of the Royal Guards of England and the school's official mascot, the lion, is Britain's official insignia. The majority of the students attending Westminster High School are Vietnamese and Hispanic. The minority population of the school include White, African-American, and Pacific Islanders. This school is known for hosting many city and district events: which is why Westminster High is also known as a "community school." Westminster High School currently serves students from Johnson and Warner Middle schools and Stacey Intermediate School. Westminster is widely known for its academic rigor in its Advanced Placement and Honors courses since students from these programs usually end up attending top-tier universities. Recently, over the past few years, Westminster High is known for its Academic Decathlon program, called OCAD, for Orange County Academic Decathlon because Westminster High has been ranked in the top 10 for Division I for over a decade. In 2006 and 2007, Westminster High won first place in Division I enabling their entry to the California Academic Decathlon Competition at UCLA. ^[1]
