I graduated from this Highschool in 2025 and had an overall great experience. The sports medicine program was very hands on and directly relevant to later collage classes in pre-med.

This school is an absolute disaster and it all starts with Principal Sean Hall. He is a bully, gas lighter and known homophobe. He is the exact opposite of the type of leader youd want for a school and has caused several teachers to quit because he is so miserable to be around. The teachers are lazy, the school is toxic and the Principal is a cowboy who spreads toxicity any chance he can get.

I had two kids attend this school 10 years apart. Both participated in extracurricular activities and AP courses. One is successful in their chosen trade and the other is attending the local University. High School is difficult in the best of times. Principal Sean hall has always been approachable and responsive to my concerns. My kinds participated in the Signature Academies and Skills USA.

Horrible, new Principal Sean Hall is the worst leader a school could ask for. If you want your student to be bullied with a leader, teachers and coaches that do nothing about it, enroll them here. This school and WCSD have got to be the worst place for your child to get a good education in a healthy and safe environment.

The school faculty and teachers are great. However, the students are homophobic and racist. Bullying is a problem.
