I believe that Churchill provided me some of my best years in high school. While the administration was a bit disorganized, I believe that the teacher provide excellent support in academics and the resources provided to aid students are beyond helpful. The school is often clean and never is very dirty. While school spirit is very high at the beginning of the year, as the year pushes through, school spirit begins to decline.

Overall a great school. Mixed experience with teachers. Sports and school spirit is strong. Administration tries hard but is limited by the County on some issues.
12/17/2024
I would like to see the school lunches changes because they are not healthy and they do not facilitate student health.

He seems to enjoy his teachers and the curriculum and has been able to take many AP classes. I definitely think WCHS...

Yes, there's too much homework and too much pressure to participate in AP classes. Yes, many of the students are wealthy and demonstrate the behavioral problems that are typical to affluent teens (once upon a time this high school was--believe it or not--the basis of the popular television show 'Bev...
