Washington Wilkes is a small community. Every one knows just about everybody. So it was nice being around people that you're similar but yet different. And being around familiar faces was a plus as well. It made going to school easier.

WWCHS was a good school. I enjoyed my years there and the teachers were very helpful. Some things do need to be changes, like the equal treatment of students.
