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.

my more thought out review got deleted in the process of posting so heres a watered down version. school drives out good teachers with mistreatment. hate crimes and physical harm threats never taken seriously resulting in minority groups to fear going to school and have threats of sexual assault directed at them. funding unfairly goes to sports causing art and music programs to fundraise for money. had to drop music electives since it took a long time for them to find a replacement teacher which resulted in doing nothing for 2 hours straight. no mental health support in any form that is consistent. bad school wouldn't recommend.

during my time here at Wickenburg high school great all the people here at the school especial the staff were very mice. the teacher always wanted the student to do there best and they would push he student to get there work done. I feel that what should change is how the lunches are arranged because right now lunches are separated into to lunches and I feel that the student that have B lunch get distracted while they have class and A lunch is out I believe it should be the other way around like the student that do not have a 4th hour in GG build should have A lunch and then the students with 4th hour in G building should B lunch.

The sports are amazing and so are the coaches. They take the time to really make sure you are successful!

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...

One of the Nations Best Schools! By any measure; academics, activities, athletic, facilities, students, parents, community support, teachers, administrators, Wickenburg High is a terrific school. I am very fortunate to live in Wickenberg and have my two children go to Wickenburg High School.
