Due to enrollment numbers, Western Middle School was constructed in the 1978-79 school year. The school operated on a split schedule during the first year of operation and then transitioned into a daily schedule the following school year.  As enrollment increased, a bond was passed by the supportive community to fund a much needed addition, which was erected in 2005-2006. This addition added classrooms as well as science labs to the Western Complex. A bond was passed in 2020 and updates to the auditorium and roofing were completed in the 2021-2022 school year. In addition, a new auxillary gym was added to the complex which is primarily used by Western Middle School students. Western Middle School shares a media center, pool, auditorium and cafeteria as well as outdoor facilities with Western High School.
