My best parts at WCHS will include friends, band, and teachers. My worst parts of WCHS would have to be school work being piled up on you, lack of time with school nurse and counselors, the same school lunches repeating. I would like to see a change in school activities (more pep rally's, whole school events).

I have been blessed to be able to grow up in Jesup ,Ga and be a part of the Wayne County school system beginning in First school at the age of three and continuing through my graduation from Wayne County High School Graduation in 2025 at the age of 18. The rural living experience has been wonderful. The teachers are exceptional and very caring. The facilities and amenities have served me well. The family atmosphere is the best part of a small town life. This community has been nothing but positive for me in total.

It's a good school. The teachers are mainly kind and will help you. The school is a nice school we have a good gym and lunchroom. The only negatives are the kids and how they take care of the school they just don't care. Also the food isn't the best but everything else is great.

Be aware of Wayne County High School's moral values. This administration and school board allows pregnant mothers to represent them as role models for homecoming court.
