WHHS is an excellent school. The school recently won the National Blue Ribbon Award for academic achievement. They have excellent teachers and staff. They offer a wide variety of courses, clubs and sports. The outside is institutional looking but the inside is clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend this school! Close Quote
