  • What can I say about Whitehaven High School? Whitehaven is slowly turning into a prison. You get sent to the office for minor things like not returning a progress report. I remember a student getting sent to ISS for his shoes being orange. I'm a senior this year and over the years, Whitehaven has changed drastically! It doesn't feel like a High School enviorment.

    Also, the administrators are horrible. For example, Terrance Bobo is one of our principals. He does not how to talk to a student without calling them stupid or other insults. He is very rude and I don't feel comfortable with him as a principal being that he was accused a messing with a female student at his last school.

    In conclusion, Whitehaven High School is not what it used to be.

  • Wonderful school far as I can see..I have two boys that are involved in band & sports & they love it..ROTC Dept. Is great..Color Guards stay active in positive events going on through out the City...Teachers I've met are kind & concerned & willing to work with your child only if YOU show some interest in their learning.
