    I personally, have loved my time spent at Washingtonville High School. The experience of being a Wizard is unlike any other. The administration has always been helpful and friendly and there's always a principal or assistant principal on every floor. As if the roaming administration wasn't enough to make you feel safe at school, every entry way is locked and the front door can only be opened by showing your ID and buzzing in AND there are police officers on every floor. WHS really does a great job of making students feel safe. The teachers and every one else never fail to amaze me or make a bad day into a good day. I love it here!

    I loved attending Washingtonville High School. The staff and faculty is very nice. There are many clubs and sports that students can be a part of, there is something for everyone. Everyone supports each other and I find that very valuable. The teachers are willing to help their students if they're struggling and students can also be peer tutored. I would definitely recommend WHS!
    It's a decent school. The teachers care and if you put effort into your work they'll put an effort in your education.

    The standard of their technology is fine, it's how they treat the students with it is the issue. It's as if everyone is in kindergarten. Everything is on a restricted mode and it becomes more of a nuisance than a security measure when you just pull out your phone to get what you wanted in the first place.

    School spirit is there. We may lose games but we still think we're better than any other school. We Wizards 'lovehate' our school but I'm sure we'll miss the memories it has given us.
