Hazelwood West High School began on the current site of Hazelwood Central High School in the 1970s. Students from Hazelwood East High School and Hazelwood West High School would alternate use of the Central campus with Central. The building that would become Hazelwood West opened in 1969 as a three-year-junior high school, Howdershell Jr. High. A greatly expanded building opened as a six-year facility in 1975, the present Hazelwood West High School, housing students from grades nine through twelve. In 2002, all district junior high schools were renamed middle schools. In 2005, two new building additions were added, a band room near the main entrance and a three-story classroom wing in the rear of the former middle school section. With the completion of six new middle schools in 2007: Hazelwood Central Middle School, Hazelwood North Middle School, Hazelwood Northwest Middle School, Hazelwood East Middle School, Hazelwood Southeast Middle School, and Hazelwood West Middle School, Hazelwood West was designated solely as a high school.
