Welcome Wheeler High School Students!
School starts at 8:25 AM on Monday. Traffic will be heavier than normal, so allow some extra time if you are driving to school in the morning. Students, please report directly to your homerooms.
Congratulations to Santhosh Karnik who placed first in the state of Georgia in the American Mathematics Competition which took place last April. He participated in an 8-hour exam containing questions that was given over a two-day period. What a significant accomplishment! We are very proud of him.
Join the Wildcat Pride Marching Band in welcoming the 2008 Fall Color Guard:
