One thing I enjoyed about Port Washington High School was the brand new school buildings that were available to me. Port Washington High School recently remodeled a large portion of the school, including the Performing Arts Center, gymnasium, fitness center. They also built a whole new wing to the building which houses courses in science, math, business, and world language.

PWHS has been a great school for us. With a large class (approximately 200), there are still small and manageable class sizes. Many classes to choose from. Top notch education.
