I graduated in the first class of 1971.
First football season only 6 points scored against us all year!

I just read somebody say that WHS is the worst, most rude school they've ever been to. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. There's on way the school itself was the rudest, first of all. Maybe the worst, for them. I think they just experienced bad drama with bad people there. No matter what school, or place, you go to, there's gonna be dumb people there. I use to talk a lot of crap about WHS when I was there, but now I live in Tenino, WA, and go to Rainier High, and it's okay, but I miss Tacoma, and Washington High School SO much! The school wasn't the best, but it was the best for me. They have great teachers (with some bad ones), cool people (when you know how to find 'em), and the school is overall structured for improvement. I disagree with a lot of rules and stuff, but I know they mean well. This is long so I'm gonna end it here, but I just wanna say that although WHS has faults, all schools, places, and people do, and I love my high school anyways! I miss you, WHS, and everybody there, who I grew up with. Love ya! WHS rocks, and I'm a Patriot for life!
