STAMFORD — The new year will bring a new school leader to the Stamford Public Schools as well as the start of construction on a brand new Westhill High School. Here’s a closer look at some of the biggest developments coming to the local school district in 2026. Shovels will be hitting the ground for the long-discussed Westhill High School project, estimated to cost $446 million. Limited construction work is expected to begin in April, including the demolition of the campus’ vocational-agriculture building. That work will result in the closure of certain student parking areas. Work on the new building is expected to begin in June immediately after graduation. The new Westhill is expected to open in 2029. Once complete, the high school campus will have 513 parking spaces, up from the current 475. Enrollment at the school, the largest in Stamford, is expected to be 2,458 students in eight years.
