Wade Hampton is a great school known for its students' school spirit and academics. There are many classes to choose from at WHHS and they are all interesting and beneficial to our education. All of the teachers are great at their job with the exception of a few bad teachers that I have had. The food at WHHS is good and there are many options for food. The sports facilities are well taken care of. The counselors are helpful and always prepared to assist students with anything. My counselor gave me good advice when it came to picking the best classes for my future and what colleges to consider. The rules that are enforced are fair and well kept up with. Students behave most of the time. The only thing problem at this school is that I don't always feel comfortable using the bathroom because there are often stalls that need maintenance and students are vaping in the stalls. I usually have to ignore these things or just wait to go during class time. Overall, Wade Hampton is a good school,

Honestly this high school was the best experience I could have before graduating.bi was ready for college especially by the time I was a senior. I had and have a goodnudneedtandijg of the economics and how i can get ahead in life. Establishing myself as as member of this society was on the forefront of mine and my teachers mind. Although the diversity was a little lacking they always made students feel welcome.

There's a lot of niche groups at Wade which is great and allows you to cultivate your own! Some of the administration is a hassle to get around when you have a question which isn't super helpful. Overall I had a great time at Wade Hampton.

Awesome school! New building, with a lot of pride! Two huge trophy cases, a data wall, and a banner court in the lobby all displaying our achievements and success! The building is huge, but very easy to navigate, and very bright. The administration is wonderful! They are extremely easy to work with...
