Whittier High school, like any High schools has pros and cons. Although our football team hasn't won any games in the last couple years, we have good teachers and class that make the overall environment nice to be in

I enjoyed my time at Whittier High School. The Avid program really helped me prepare for college and figure out what I wanted to do after high school. I made a lot of good friends at this school.

After attending Whittier High School for nearly four school years I can consider myself credible in voicing my opinion. At Whittier High School you will feel welcome and the teachers provide a space where you can interact with them. There could be more clubs to join but that can always be fixed and can vary depending on the students that attend at the school. I believe our sports here are competitive specifically our water polo teams and tennis team here at Whittier. You will get a great education and the teachers are more than willing to use their own free time to attend to any issues you may have. I think Whittier High School is a school with a rich history of preparing creativity.

I think my time at WHS was ok. I definitely was unhappy a lot of the time, but the student community makes up for the failures of the school itself. Teachers overall are not that great, though a *few* AP/honors ones were great. There was a whole lot of wasted time ("English day", "Math day"...) and...

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 en...
