Western High School is the most ideal
ly located and the most perfectly plan
ned Of the seven high schools of Wash
iagtOn. With intuitive foresight OF the
future needs Of a high school in the rap
idly developing Northwest section of the
city, the Commissioners purchased the
old estate known as the "Cedars," using
$4,000 Of the $5Oo 900 Congress had appro-
priated toward the purchase Of a site
and the erection Of a Western High
school building. the final cost of which
was not to exceed $lO0,OOO.
The school was organized in 1880 with
a membership of ffty-four pupils and a
faculty Of two teachers. To-day, 656 boys
and girls are pursuing the various aca-
demic courses under the tutelage Of thir-
ty carefully trained, high-mInded men
and women. The first home Of Western
High School was the big hall of the
Curtis School building, but at the end Of
three years it had assumed such proper
tions that it had outgrown the entire
building. Enterprisins citizens OF
Georgetown Joined hands in an effort to
Induce Congress TO provide adequate and
suitable housing for the young school,
and the original structure was compIet-
ed and occupied in 1898, the total cost Of
building and equipment being nearly
1850
Miss Edith c. westcott, the efncient
principal Of Western High School, has
been intimately identified with every
phase OF its development from the day Of
its organization. She is the only woman
on whom the honor Of high school prin-
Cipal has been bestowed, and in large
measure, the phenomenal growth Of the
school, its academic standing, and splen-
did equipment for every branch Of high
school work, is due to her devoted. tire
less energy, her breadth of view. and
keen sense OF nice adjustment Of details.
Her soul is in her work and her life
bound up in the welfare OF Western High
School
