History

A.G. West Black Hills High School opened in the fall of 1997. The school was named after Arthur Garret West (1886–1979) because of his commitment and interest in good schools, roads, and community improvement. It was also named after the Black Hills, which dominate the skyline to the west.[4] Due to the school's location in proximity to a manure processing plant, the school earned the nickname "Cow Pie High" in the community.
