Westlake High School (WHS) is a public high school located in Saratoga Springs, Utah, United States. It is part of Utah County's Alpine School District. The school first opened in 2009. In late 2011, construction began for a new junior high school, Frontier Middle School, in nearby Eagle Mountain, which removed 9th grade from Westlake for the 2013–14 school year onwards.

Adjacent to the school is a seminary building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Also nearby is Vista Heights Middle School.
