I have gone to school here since my freshmeb year and have had no bad experience with the school. I have been a Varsity Cheerleader for 3 years and love it. I will be sad to leave the school.

Wetumpka High School is a great school. The teachers really care about the students and make sure that they are ready for college, or their next path in life. The school is safe, offers plenty of extra-curricular activities and clubs, and has wonderful counselors who are always willing to go above and beyond.

During the four years that we have attended WHS it was easy and the faculty made it so amazing and I appreciate them for that. I also want to thank the football staff they were truly awesome.
