Eat Wings - Raise Funds

Join us at BW3's in downtown Massillon on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 from 4:00pm to 9:00pm and help raise funds to support the WHS Alumni Association!

BW3's will donate 15% of your bill to the WHSAA - you don't even have to do anything other than enjoy a great night out, with some delicious food!

Download a flyer that you can print and/or share with your friends and neighbors.

Monies raised at this event will benefit alumni and future alumni. The alumni association offers every class assistance with their reunions, publishes a newsletter twice a year,  provides help for the high school's fall and winter homecomings and supports athletics, academics, and the arts.


New Face of WHS

This past Spring/Summer, the open courtyard plaza in front of Washington High School received a badly needed facelift. The redesigned area was christened as school started in August. The area now is not only beautifully designed with dramatic lighting and the name "MASSILLON" in bold block letters set to greet all who enter, but it is also functional with seating areas to accommodate outdoor classes, activities and meetings. It also gives a place for students to sit comfortably while waiting for rides after school or activities.

The facelift at the high school is just another part of the rebuilding of the Massillon City Schools which started with the utilization of the former Central Office Building on Oak Avenue as the bus fleet garage headquarters and Bob Wherry Natatorium in addition to construction of the junior high/middle school athletic complex.

The final phase of this rebuild will be the two new elementary buildings that are being built at no cost to the taxpayers through funding to replace the inadequate three current elementary buildings of Whittier, Franklin, and Gorrell.  The new buildings are being built adjacent to the high school campus and the junior high/middle school campus and are slated for use by 2025.

A new practice field for the band and some stadium parking should be restored by next season. The monies used for these projects were not permitted to be used for regular operations or purchases as designated, but as issued on a "use it or lose it" basis.
