History
Open in the fall of 1970, West Florence was built to replace McClenaghan High School. At the time it was built, the school followed the open classroom concept that was popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the school's early days, classrooms within each pod had no walls, allowing students to participate in any one of several classes occurring at one time. This failed and walls were added later.
Athletics
West Florence competes in South Carolina High School League's Class AAAA Region 6 along with five other high schools. The mascot is the Knights.
