The 10-acre school site originally started out as farming land and Robert Dillion, a real estate developer, sold a portion of this land to the Board of Education. Western Hills was a truly modern school when it was built in 1953. The one story, masonry structure, was designed to provide facilities for children from kindergarten through sixth grade. The school started out with twelve classrooms, a kindergarten, a library, and a multipurpose room which also served as auditorium, gymnasium, and cafeteria.
A major addition was completed in 1957. At the time, it was the first school in three decades to serve an entirely new community. The Western Hill Community is now very diverse and far-reaching. In a broad sense, it now represents a cross section of the entire city because the families span a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
