My experience at Whitehaven has been nothing but great. They encourage each and every student that attends their school to do their very best in academics and strive to do their very best in life. Our school saying is "Every decision has a consequence, you determine weather that consequence is positive or negative by the decisions that you make. And remember tigers see the vision through the eye of the tiger!"

Overall, the school is great and offers a lot if you use its resources. I'm very involved at my school, and the faculty is very respectful and polite, for the most part.

The best parts of my experience at Whitehaven High is the amount of resources they give to help you with life after graduation like internship opportunities but the worst part of being there is simply some teachers might not be fit for teaching you. It depends on how you personally learn best.

Whitehaven's a tough nut to crack. The zoning is impressive but the guardrails in the lower teacher's parking lot absolutely need to be fixed. Just a cautionary note: the surrounding area is relatively unsafe for people of a caucasian background (hence: 'whitehaven'). Great band though
12/16/2013
The review by the 9th grader below is on point. Whitehaven does a better job than most Memphis schools of projecting a decent public image, mainly due to its championship caliber football team and good band. However, there is much to be desired behind closed doors. There is a small pocket of excelle...
