Westmar Middle School was opened in the fall of 2007 when it was relocated to Lonaconing after the closure of the Westmar Middle School facility in Westernport.  Prior to the fall of 2007, the building was occupied by Westmar High School, originally Valley High School, which was established in 1953 and renamed "Westmar" during the 1989–1990 school year, three years after the consolidation of Bruce High School in 1986.  Westmar High School closed, vacating the building for future use a middle school, following the 2006–2007 school year after which the populations of Westmar and Beall High schools consolidated into the newly built [[Mountain Ridge High School (Frostburg, Maryland)|Mountain Ridge High School]] in [[Frostburg, Maryland|Frostburg]].
