History[edit]
Westinghouse High School opened in 1917. During the 2011-2012 school year, the school absorbed students from the East Liberty neighborhood due to the closure of nearby Peabody High School.In 1920, the students of Westinghouse published A Book of Verse that featured poetry by students describing life in and out of the school as well as their thoughts on the future, war, and women’s suffrage. One poem by Ruth McFarland, class of ’17, titled “Appreciation Class” featured a frustrated music appreciation teacher trying in vain to play classical records on the Victrola and trying to get the player piano to run.
