[edit] History
West Seneca East Senior High opened in January of 1970 due to an overcrowding at West Seneca West Senior High School that included split sessions. The need for a new senior high was paramount due to the use of split sessions - one in the morning and one in the afternoon (John Karlis, letter, December 22, 2005).
