Western Guilford High School

Most teachers are excellent. You will make friends from all backgrounds and can participate in wonderful extracurriculars. Students from Western are candidates for major scholarships and go to all of the amazing schools in NC and beyond. There are many AP classes, including AP Seminar and AP Research, which are only offered at Western in all of Guilford County. In these classes students write in depth explorations of focused topics and defend them in front of panels, experiences which prepare us for college and beyond. Not to mention the amazing CTE program at Western, including the logistics lab and nursing fundamentals classes! Seriously, come to Western! I’m so glad I did!

Western is a good school, but it is a high school. Of course there will be drugs, fights, and bad teachers, but high school is what you make of it, and if you come to Western with the intention to learn and work hard, then you will see the school that I see. Behind the doors, it may look less than perfect, but the academics allow you to succeed, and the people, no matter how different from you they seem are always welcoming and kind.

I go to this school, and it's not as bad as people make it out to be at all. The academics are actually quite rigorous, disrespect is never allowed, teachers are always there to help you out and tutor at least once a week, there are many opportunities for clubs and such and if you can't find one you like you can make your own! It's honestly a great school, and the students there are all very welcoming as well as the teachers and the principal.
