High school days are forever dear
But Father Time takes his toll;
Yet the memories will still be near
As we strive toward our goal
So, Westlake, while we are here
Let's be friends firm and true;
We'll all be faithful, dear Alma Mater,
For we'll always be part of you. - Fight Song
-
Stand up and cheer,
Cheer loud and long
for Westlake High School.
For today we raise,
the Green and White.
Above the rest,
above the rest.
Our boys are fighting
for we are bound to win this game.
We've got the team, Rah! Rah!
We've got the steam, Rah! Rah!
For this is Westlake High School's game! - Trivia
-
In 2008, the 330 members of the graduating class received diplomas with the word education misspelled as educaiton. The school obtained another print run of the defective diplomas, and provided replacements to the graduating students.
- The school mascot, the Demon has occasionally caused controversy because of its assumed religious connotations. As a matter of fact, the name has evolved over the years. When Westlake was known as Dover, the school teams were called the 'Dover Men'. Popular usage shortened this to 'D-Men', which when spoken is indistinguishable from the word 'demon', hence the current name.
- Notable alumni
