(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - WHS is an aesthetically pleasing school but the programs are mediocre. WHS needs a bigger facility to be a better school. It has trailers to house most of its programs; meanwhile, most of the freshman are bussed miles away to an old winn dixie behind target anyway. Aside from the population problems it is an okay school.
