What I would like to change is they way the school administration decides to punish the entire school based on a few students. For example they ripped out all the mirrors and just have them laying by the gym.

At Washington High school I met many supporting, loving, and caring friends and teachers. The school is diverse, has good academics , and also has good sports(in my opinion).

I really like Washington high school, their teachers and staff have always been extremely understanding and helpful.

The dedication and sacrifice is endless and this forum does not provide enough space to list the things I have witnessed, but these people do whatever it takes and treat students like t...

I recently graduated from WHS as a part-time student there, the rest being spent as a Running Start Student. WHS is NOT by any means a bad school. They have done much to improv...

Best teachers! I enjoy everything this school has to offer. The coaches are cool and very inspirational.
