Western High School was a building located in Silver City, New Mexico.

Because of increasing population growth in the area, the old facilities were no longer accommodatable.

The Chamber of Commerce and local governments proposed creating a new high school that could accommodate 600 students.

Because the funding of the high school, in 1939, was by a legislative appropriation by a Silver City bond issue, a suit found that the University should transfer the title of the building and furnishings to the Silver City School District and cease to operate it.

In 1966, the present high school building was built on 32nd and Silver streets.

During the reroofing project, it was determined that there was significant water damage to the building.
