I am currently a student here at Whippany Park High School, and I'm proud of it. The teachers are amazing and actually have you in mind when they see something going wrong; heck, they even reply to their emails sent by students! There is anything but a shortage of new ways to make new friends; I am currently a part of the WPMB's Color Guard, and now stage crew for the musical. The people here at Whippany Park are amazing, given or take the few that shout at you in the halls.

I'm currently a student of WPHS and I love it. It has so many activities and clubs to choose from which is great! It's awesome to be able to explore things and meet new people. Most of the people are very friendly and it's a good environment to be in. There are some improvements that need to be made but overall it's a great school to be a part of.

Both my children go to this school right now. And I am very happy with the academics and the sports programs. I feel they will graduate with a great base.

I'm a student in the class of 2007, and I love Whippany Park. When I came here two years ago from MJS, it was a huge change. We had FREEDOM. You can walk outside to get to your classes, get a decent lunch, have teachers who care about your grades (Just in case you might not), and make plenty of new friends. Though there are some issues with 'bullies', WPHS is still a great school. They have several plays, the big musical in March always being the best. WPHS is renound for its excellence in performing arts, as well as having a kick-butt stage crew. The marching band also competes and scores high, as well as our athletic teams. We are Morris County champions in several aspects. WPHS is a great school. WPHS is like a second home to me, and I can't immagine being anywhere else!

Whippany Park, like any school, has its fair share of problems. Overall the school boast high academic scores, good sports teams, and high parent involvement. However, Whippany Park is not a school for those students who are middle of the road. The school tends to cater to the extremes, those with high and low academic and athletic achievement, leaving the middle of the road children to find there place in either group for recognition. As a former student of WP, I feel as though the school provided me with an excellent education and background for college. However, it hindered those who did not fit the mold of the 'perfect' student or 'problem' child.

This has got to be the absolute best school in New Jersey. I had 3 daughters graduate from here and the teachers and staff are very caring and energetic. Although this school has its problems with the children being spoiled and talking on cell phones and bringing coffees to class, the students still seem to have a good attitude toward learning. If you are thinking of moving to whippany this is an excellent highschool.
