I went to this high school most teachers there couldn't care less about their student Coach Brady and Mrs Campbell bothe being wonderful exceptions, the sports programs are terrible and under funded and opportunities are only in place for the top 2 percent of the student population
This is a great school. It doesn't have a lot of students so the teachers can get to know the students needs better. Also it doesn't have a lot of the problems other schools have.
This school has been a joyful experience to my life. It was terrific to meet and become with everyone there. There isn't a better place to be than Whitwell High. I want to also give a shout out to Dr. Judith Green, who was the best teacher in the world!
My son graduated in 2006 from WHS and is in his second year of college. He was well prepared for college work. Any student who desires a good education can get one at this school. The teachers are more than competent, they are very good. The students who are not prepared for college didn't make much effort in high school, in my opinion.
This school is the best! There is always something to do. Wether it is shooting some hoops or sliding into homeplate. Also, the teachers are great and are always willing to stay after school if you need help. To add, there is no safer school than Whitwell High. In short, this school has made my past three years of high school spectacular! Class of 2009!
I am a Student a Senior at whitwell High School and i love this school to death. Everyone gets along and its never crowd in teh halls. I will be Graduating WHS this year May 18th. *The Class of 2006*
The school is outstanding it would be more enjoyable if there was more activities that would go on. A few more classes would work wonders too.
Whitwell High is a small school of about 400 students. That is great because everybody knows everybody, but it is tough because they are not able to offer things that larger schools have. The marching band consists of usually 15 people or less. There is no chorus or glee club, no art. They are not able to offer Chemistry II, or Spanish III, (Spanish is the only foreign language offered) or Psychology or Sociology because of the small number of students interested. Students love the school. The teachers are great. They have great athletic teams, and most who want to get to participate. The students are surrounded by a loving, supportive community. Where else can you ride your horse to school on the last day? Academic scores are fantastic. ACT scores are outstanding, so they are prepared academically, but there are a lot of opportunities they are missing.
I am not a parent...I am a graduate. I loved and still love just about everything about the school. It is a home-like, friendly environment! It was the best time of my life.
I have a child that is a Senior at whitwell high school and he/she loves every thing there except for one teacher.
