- The school was built in 1976, and was originally called "Spring High South", serving the district's freshmen and sophomore students while the junior and senior students attended the main Spring High School campus. In the 1981-1982 school year it became a full four-year high school and its name was changed to "Westfield."

In August 2006, Spring ISD opened Carl Wunsche Sr. High School, an optional career and technology academy which accepts student applicants currently attending Spring ISD's high schools, including Westfield, Spring and Dekaney.

The building was also formerly the original Bammel Middle School building up until January 2004 when the new ninth grade center opened to relieve overcrowding. Spring ISD later decided to convert the building into the Dr. Edward Roberson Middle School, A Math, Science and Fine Arts Academy, a new magnet middle school which will open in 2009.
