Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School is the only secondary school serving the Wyomissing Area School District. Located in the borough of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
History: In 1909, the Wyomissing school district was founded, with classes being taught in a private residence. In 1908, the district's first building was completed, responsible for grades 1-11 (seniors attended another area high school). The first dedicated high school building was constructed in 1923, and latter became an elementary school for the district. The current high school was constructed in 1940, as part of Franklin Roosevelt's depression recovery program, the Works Projects Administration. The building was expanded to meet the growing student body in 1965, and was renovated in 1994. The Wyomissing School District became the Wyomissing Area School District upon merging with the former West Reading School District in the late 1960's.
An addition was finished September, 2006. The addition added several new classrooms, a new chorus room, a stagecraft workshop. The somewhat controversial renovation has removed two courtyards in the school, many windows in classrooms, in addition to a major portion of the student parking area. The school's auditorium was also recently renovated. Renovations included removing the windows, replacing the seats, installing new curtains and carpeting, repainting, and installing garage doors in the stage right wing and the new set construction rooms so that scenery could be moved.
Academics: There are 567 sections of 183 courses in basic core areas and in a wide variety of electives. The school offers 30 honors, and 12 Advanced Placement courses.
Athletics: Since the early 1990s, the school has won state championships in boys' soccer (1994), girls' cross country (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002), girls' tennis (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003) and boys' track (2003). The school fields the following teams: Football, Cross Country, Volleyball, Bowling, Golf, Tennis, Wrestling, Basketball, Swimming, Winter Track and Field, Spring Track and Field, Baseball, Girls Soccer, Boys Soccer, Volleyball, Tennis, Swimming, Cheerleading, Softball, Field Hockey.
Clubs and Organizations: The school offers a number of student clubs and organizations in order to expand learning beyond classroom. The school's Model United Nations, Moot Court, Math, Quiz Bowl, and Science Olympiad teams have been competitive on the local, national, and state levels.
