From 2001 through 2007, the school underwent major construction,[3] including a new theater, a new fieldhouse with an indoor track and tennis courts, an upgraded and relocated library, and a new 10-classroom wing.[3] Renovations were also made to the bathrooms and workout facilities. The class of 2007 was the first to host graduation in the new fieldhouse.
West has a rivalry with the other New Berlin public high school, Eisenhower.
New Berlin West's 2010 baseball team made it to the state tournament for the first time.[4] The school's 2013 baseball team won the state tournament for the first time.
In 2018, New Berlin West halted its yearbook distribution after the school learned that a senior student chose a yearbook quote referring to the Holocaust. His quote read, "There will always be one true Final Solution." A spokesman of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation was on record as finding the quote "very disturbing and upsetting".[5]
