Whittier High School its a great school but just like any other one, it has things to be worked on, some of this things could be their sports facilities for some sports like football they dont have a great field, also the coaches dont require much from athletes but its something that can be worked during time. Really good teachers all are open to help and be there for every student appreciate the save environment that they bring, overall a great school would definitely recommend it.

Something that I liked about attending Whittier High School was the welcoming environment the school provided and the various resources that were available and easy to access. They offer many higher level courses as well. However, something that I would have liked to see changed is the flexibility in schedules for people in sports. Many people often have to sacrifice academics in order to pursue their interest.

From freshman year until my senior year, everyday was something different and new, from meeting your high school friends, loosing them, making new ones, high schools, high school. Whittier did provide many resources and college tours.

Teachers overall are not that great, though a *few* AP/honors ones were great. There was a whole lot of wasted time ("English day", "Math day"...) and...

I second this sentiment - I am a parent that loves this school and would recomend this school to any parent. I do admit I used to have my concerns with this school but I've noticed how much it has improved in the past few years. I do believe the principal, a WHS alumn and who has spent almost her en...
