My experience at WCHS was not what I expected, but it was a good experience over all. I changed in many ways, and was able to find myself. It definitely wasn't like High School Musical though like I assumed it would've been.

The school is absolutely amazing, I am a Freshman in Wayne County High school, and my sister is in the 11th grade. Her and I both agreed that this school is so much better than our old school, our old school never cared about bullies, never tried to fix the bullying, pushed around, sexually harassed, her teachers never helped her out. But when we came to this school, everyone was friendly and talked to us to make us feel welcomed. Because of that I made 3 friends, and 2 close friends. so if you're shy I would honestly recommenced you coming to this school. The food here is amazing, and they try to take away any distractions coming your way. And they care about your education, and try to help you with anything in your class. If you're failing they try to help you out and get your grade up. I am very shy but I am slowly getting out of it because I came to this school.

I would like to be served better quality food in the cafeteria. I would also like to receive more information from my school counselor about college, scholarships, and opportunities after I graduate high school.
