West End High School is a high school in the Birmingham City Schools system located on a 12.5-acre site at 1840 Pearson Avenue Southwest in West End. The red-brick school was built in 1930 to designs by the noted firm of Warren, Knight & Davis and David O. Whilldin and an outside consultant. It adjoins Robert E. Lee Elementary School.

The principal is Allen Lewis. West End's athletic teams are known as the Lions.

In the latest school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board, West End High would close during the summer of 2008 with students transferring to Wenonah, Parker and Jackson-Olin High Schools. [1]
