I had a great experience. I would like to see improvements on our field house and sport locker rooms. Our facility is old and it would be nice to see some upgrades to it.

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.
