History
Following the conclusion of World War II, the population in the areas of West, East Hempstead, Roosevelt, and East Meadow had a significant rise. In response to this, the West Hempstead area sought funding for an educational facility, facing initial setbacks in a failed vote. Considerations for temporary classrooms, and multiple site options occurred before the community approved the site on Gustke-Linder in a subsequent vote. Construction commenced on March 17, 1952, but faced minor delays due to a fire. The West Hempstead High School officially opened its doors on September 8, 1953. Originally, students in the area were enrolled at the neighboring, Hempstead High School, but with the creation of a closer school, many students transferred locations. The school's ram mascot, and black-and-gold color scheme were chosen by students, prior to the opening of the district.[7]
