With a sprawling campus in the foothills, Wickenburg High School is a public high school serving more than 400 students in ninth through twelfth grades in the Wickenburg Unified School District.
In the Home of the Wranglers, faculty strive to prepare all students for successful, productive and happy lives with a broad range of educational opportunities centered around good communication with students, parents, caregivers and the Wickenburg community.
Beyond the core curriculum, students can excel in Advanced Placement classes or pursue passions in the arts to enhance their overall learning experience, whether taking electives in piano, band, theater, choral, studio art or yearbook.
Wickenburg High hosts a robust career and technical education program in partnership with West-MEC, which prepares students for life after school. Students can develop practical skills in a wide range of disciplines from business management and public safety to agriscience and engineering, and continue hands-on training in construction, automotive, health sciences, manufacturing and coding, among many other career paths.
Outside of the classroom, more active Wranglers can compete in the school’s extensive athletics program which manages modern sporting facilities on campus. Football and basketball are always big here, but students can also find team spirit in baseball, softball, soccer, wrestling, swimming, golf, cross country, volleyball, track and field and cheer.

It is a great school. Small class sizes, teachers that carer, take the time to make sure you understand what is being taught. They stay after to help, come in early to help.

What I liked about Wickenburg High School was how small it was. Almost everybody knew everybody and the people are easy too know. The teachers can be friends and if you want to get involved its easy too do.

I loved my past 3 years at Wickenburg High School. I enjoyed the small school and the small classes. The teachers are amazing and I have always enjoyed all of my classes.

I attended this high school from 2008-2012. I strongly do NOT recommend it to you. Whether you want your child to excel in academics or athletics, WHS will be sure to crush that dream. It's been years since either the football or boys basketball teams even made the playoffs. There's a rifle club and...
