I second this sentiment - I am a parent that loves this school and would recomend this school to any parent. I do admit I used to have my concerns with this school but I've noticed how much it has improved in the past few years. I do believe the principal, a WHS alumn and who has spent almost her entire career at this school, has really made the institution great. It is THE high school I would most want to send my child to in the area. As with any place, it is what you make of it, but the school wants my input and participation. That is encourageing - nothing to hide and a willingness to work on problems parents see!
Whittier High School is a caring, nurturing and hard working community of learners. A school community whose members, strive to improve each day, month and year!

I think it's a great school. There's not many activities and some people are mean but you can make the best of it.
I think this school is great. Everyone learns a lot of new things here. My child goes here and he's a junior and he's so into the activites they have here. Of course, it is very crowded but indeed it is lots of fun for them to make a lot of friends.
this is a great school for kids to get a higher education and to interact with students more.
Im currently a student in Whittier High School, and I think that this school is great, it has alot of activities and I learn alot thanks to the teachers there. They help try to understand the subject by teaching it in different ways.
I am a former Whittier High School student. When I attended Whittier my first three years, the school administration was not doing a thorough job. However, my senior year(2004-2004), the adminstration improved a lot. I've seen a lot of changes that have occurred since then. I am very glad that there are more students who graduate and plan to attend a 4-year University. There are also a lot more new and young teachers who are eager to teach! I think this school has improved a lot and is doing a well job!
I was a student at Whittier high and I found it to be the worst school I ever attended in my life. Students don't care. Teachers don't care. Whittier lacks any challange, which is important for experience and success.
I am sold on WHS!The staff, teachers, & administrators are committed to student success. I've had 3 sons graduate in 2002,2004, & 2006.This school works hard for the students. The alumni group is great & generous & involved also. There are plenty of extra opportunities for every student.This is a school to embrace.(We came from private preschool thru 8th.) Enjoy the rich traditions & be an involved parent. This school seems to get better each year.They even have moms committed to praying for the school. What a great set up!
