White Station is a very diverse school with helpful teachers and staff. The school has something for everyone like JROTC,choir,LGBTQ,etc. There is hardly any conflicts between the students. The staff is wonderful and the are willing to lend a hand to the students who are in need. White Station also helps out the community very well with fundraisers and community service club. Most of the time White Station helps the Shelby County Humane Society during the lunch hours. Although the school is very helpful with academics and there is a place for everybody the one thing the school is horrible at is cleanliness. White Station's nick name is Rat Station,yes, Rat Station. Rats live in the ceiling. The bathrooms are something else, they are never clean plus there is no hot water! The safety at White Station has its flaws there are cameras in the hallway and outside of the school but half of them do not work.

WSHS is a great school. Sure we have our accomplishments ranging from national champion a cappella teams to our astounding numbers in the 30- plus ACT club, White Station has something amazing for every student. Yet, the filthy bathrooms, dirty rooms, and rodent American populations are horrible for the students, faculty, and staff's health. All in all, White Station is a great school with some dedicated teachers!
I love the diversity and the blend of cultures. There’s a great deal of issues that cause for change such as the learning environment, administration and resources. There’s a huge difference in how teachers treat their honors versus traditional classes. Where’s the encouragement? Traditional students should be given just as much respect encouragement and accountability as honor students. Setting the bar low keeps students down but setting the bar high causes students to rise to the occasion. Administration targets racial groups such as African Americans to suspend or expell over pettiness but looks past dug usage.
We have great students that contribute to WSHS reputation who are taken advantage of by demographics. A lot of teens wonder around helpless because stubborn counselors and administrators could could less about helping us apply for scholarships as they receive grants to build add ons to the landscape meanwhile it’s 40 degrees in the middle of November. .
