The Westmont Hilltop School District is a public school district located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. It geographically comprises Upper Yoder Township, Westmont Borough, and Southmont Borough in the western suburbs of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

The schools within the district include Westmont Hilltop High School, Westmont Hilltop Middle School, and Westmont Hilltop Elementary School. At one point, other schools such as Elim School and Stutzman School existed in the system, but were phased out as the district adopted the three main schools.

Westmont School District merged with Upper Yoder School District to form Westmont-Upper Yoder School District in 1919. The school district became its current entity when Southmont School District merged with Westmont-Upper Yoder School District in 1956, forming Westmont Hilltop School District.

Westmont Hilltop School District is governed by a popularly elected school board comprised of nine members that are elected at large from the entire district. School board members are elected to either four-year terms or two-year terms in odd election years.
