I love how much the teachers care. From being concerned about your education to just being there when you need a friend– I know I can always count on my WSHS teachers. The small town that the school is in allows me to build close relationships with people throughout my community and school super easily. The administration is open-minded and truly cares about what their students have to say. I have loved attending Ware Shoals High School, and I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone.

My first year at Ware Shoals was okay. The teacher were very nice and helpful and got me really involved in the school. I ended up joining student council and the homecoming float group. The only bad thing about the school was the bathrooms. They were really out dated but during the summer the bathrooms were remodeled and it's perfect. I really enjoyed Ware Shoals.

Staff doesn't care about safety. There has been 3 fire drills this year one lockdown and no tornado drill.

WS High is a small school with a big heart. Staff members are caring and kind, and students are respectful. Safety is a priority and the historic building, is well maintained. Class sizes are small, giving students the opportunity to have a more personalized learning experience.
