Razor Road to Excellence

As we prepare for our upcoming Palmetto's Finest visit and continue on our Road to Excellence, we will be doing a series of Razor Reflections for students, parents, and staff. 

What is our mission?
The mission at Walhalla High School is to "Start Strong, Finish Strong."

A student that is retained in 9th grade is 4 times less likely to graduate high school on time. The goal at WHS is to support students from the beginning, to help students stay on-track to graduate, and to be sure students are prepared and ready for their futures after high school. 
Start Strong Finish Strong

Need a New ID?

Click here to request a new ID. It will be delivered directly to you within a few days.

Need a Permanent Library Pass?

Submit this application to receive a reusable library pass for admittance to the library in the mornings (8:00-8:35 am) and/or during your lunch. The teacher on duty should not allow you to pass through the doors from the cafeteria/commons area during these times without a pass. Use only the upstairs hallway and stairs from the cafeteria/commons.

You can always get a Securly hall pass from a teacher if you just need to go to the library occasionally during these times. This pass is for the students who plan to go to the library most/all mornings and/or most/all lunches.

Please note: This pass can be rescinded if you are found wandering through the hallways instead of going straight to the library and/or using the commons stairwell and upstairs hall.

Car Rider Reminders

PLEASE DO NOT drop students off or pick them up in the main parking lot or in the student parking lot. Remember to pull ALL THE WAY up to the purple line or the car in front of you. Do your part to help our dismissal run efficiently.
