West Leyden High School is a high school in Northlake, Illinois. First opened for enrollment in 1959, the athletic mascot of West Leyden High School was originally the Knights until 1981. At this time, the East and West Leyden High School athletic programs merged to create an athletic team currently known as the Eagles.
Together with East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Illinois, it comprises Leyden High School District 212 of the suburban communities in Franklin Park, Northlake, Rosemont, Schiller Park, River Grove, Melrose Park and unincorporated Leyden Township.
In September 2019, threats of shooting were made on social media. This led to East Leyden High School and West Leyden High School having classes online for a day.[7][8] Further, at least one child was forced to undergo a 72 hour hold after the school stalked multiple student's social media accounts. The parents of these students were not notified, and all Power of Attorney was illegally moved to the state during this time.[9][10]
