What I like about Whitehall-Yearling High School is that there are is a decent amount of teachers and coaches who actually care about their students' success and how diverse the school is. What I would like to see change is for there to be a better push for success in academics, staff(mainly teachers) who put more effort into their craft, a better direction when it comes to athletics, better nutritional options, along with many more things.

Overall, WYHS is a pretty average high school. The diversity is great and you can easily make friends and also the teachers are great and willing to help as much as they can. However there some things that this school lacks the food there is not great, and also there are times where classes were canceled because there weren't enough teachers.

This school is a really good school but the teachers and the rest of the staff are a joke. They wanna believe the lies that come out of the students mouth and have it put in the paper instead of calling the parents or grandparents and getting both sides if the story. I use to love this school and th...
