Ware junior senior high school will always hold a special place in my heart not only because that's where I will be graduating from in the spring but because this is my community and where I grew up. When I'm at school I feel nothing but safety. Everyone puts their differences aside and looks out of one another. We are a small but yet very connected school community whether we are at sporting events or just in every day classes we constantly cheer one another on. Our teachers always put out education and future as a priority. There has never been a time where I've struggled in school and no one was there to help. There was always another student or teacher very eager to help me.

Ware Junior Senior High School is the epitome of the high school experience. A diverse student body, combined with an extraordinary teaching staff, creates a healthy learning environment for any learner. The opportunities are there for the taken at WJSHS and I wouldn't want to be any where else.

Bullying is an important and pressured topic, although i do not see significant amounts of bullying to warrant the amount of caution.

If you don't care about your child's safety, then by all means send them to Ware Jr/Sr highschool. My child was bullied from 7th-10th grade. I mean, she was sexually harassed, threatened, had her locker broken into and her belongings destroyed. Not ONE TIME was ANYTHING ever done about any incident...

I don't like this school at all, i don't like people either but Mr. Easton and the lang & culture teacher actually make me excited to come to school, they are my favorite teachers, they are the best. Lunch food is alright. Ms. Kacey is the best guidance counselor ever
