The extra the dedication and the easy at which parents students and teachers communicate make this a fantastic school. The new system where you can look in the online site to keep students and parents alike informed of progress is the BEST!

music, arts and sports are readily availabe in west hempstead high. however the dedication of the teachers and the lack of involvement by more parents have been bringing this once great school, down.Their are more fights and lack of control in this school its unbeliveable more parents have done brought this to the attention of the tax payers in this town. There have been 3 new principals in 3 years and the kids are out of control. I have written numerous letters to the superintendent who turned a blind eye on the on going violence in WHHS.I pray daily for my daughter to graduate without being seriously hurt while attending West Hempstead High.
