Between the end of WWII in 1945 and 1970, the "Boomer" generation, the number of school-age children in Weston increased 363%, from 635 students to 2,937.

[3] This new high school, which was located near Weston Town Center by the current Weston Public Library, Country and Woodland Elementary Schools, was renowned as the "architectural achievement of the century" by the Boston Herald when it opened in January 1950.

Revolutionary architecture and layout of the school allowed for new teaching and class organization methods.

This building is the fifth public high school in Weston and is designed to be in active service far longer than many contemporary schools, thanks to constant renovation and a high-quality initial design and build.

The campus includes 14 athletic fields, 10 tennis courts, an indoor pool, sugar house, and fishing pond.

[1] Weston High School, designed and built in 1961 at a cost of $64.3 million (2012 dollars), has been renovated periodically since its construction.

The building itself consists of a large gymnasium, weight room, library, theater and tech center, dance studio, music rooms, auditorium, computer labs, and many classrooms.

The building is split into different wings for each subject, including English and History, Math and Science, and Language.
