As of September 6th, I started my final year of high school at West Orange and I couldn't ask for a better student body. West Orange is known for it's strong music and arts program, specifically for it's national award winning band and high ranked choirs. The theatre program at WOHS works hard throughout the school year to put on amazing and prestigious shows. The Marching Band works through the summer to put on a great halftime performance and support the West Orange community for special events such as the St. Patricks Day Parade. Not to mention, the class of 2020 has been a great class of kids to spend the past 13 years with. WO town better than yo town!
During my time at West Orange High School, there were a few times I regretted staying at the school while there were also many joyous moments. Overall, the teachers provide above average education, as long as you pay attention you should be able to pass every class unless if you have a really bad teacher (which unfortunately still happens). I ran track and cross-country while attending the school and we didn't really have funds so we had to fundraise every weekend to support our program but every other program, as far as I know, has a good influx of funds.
One of my favorite things about WOHS is the fact that it is a community of diverse and inclusive learners, the environment is always welcoming and the teachers are understanding for the most part. However, the administration and facilities could use some improvement. There are too many incidences where the lights or the water supply or the bathrooms break down, and the administration do not seem to implement preventative measures to ensure a more well-maintained school. The science department needs to be revamped entirely as teachers are often not on task or not teaching students at all. Overall, my experience at WOHS has been pretty average, not the best academic system but it is what you make of it that counts.
