Teachers were good and overall cared about their subjects and students and want you to succeed. The level of difficulty for many classes was often times dependent on the teacher, not the level of the class. I would've liked better support for out of state colleges from guidance counselors.

It creates a strong community through small interpersonal groups of all different ages. Additionally, it alues academic excellence, yet also allows for students to be creative through allowing a variety of electives and extra cirriculars (clubs, sports, theatre, etc.). Overall a great school.

I was highly active in high school by being a class officer, two presidents for clubs, founding a club, and three-sport captains. I was always seeking a way to make Wellesley High School better. The staff was supportive of me as I aimed to change the school.

Two of our four child...
