The Gary E. Sampson Planetarium is a state-of-the-art facility specifically designed for the study of astronomy. Installed when the high school was built, the planetarium was updated in 2005 to include advanced automation and multimedia capabilities. It is a field trip destination and a "lab" classroom for the Advanced Astronomy course at West High School.
