Wharton High School

During National School Bus Safety Week, we celebrate our dedicated drivers and emphasize the importance of school bus safety for all—students, parents, and community members.

🚸🚌 Every day, we transport 78,000 students to school, highlighting safety as our top priority. ⚠️ Safety first, always!

As we move into Week 2 of the quarter, we are wrapping up the fall sport season. Club day is Monday. Underclass photo retake day is Wednesday. Morning tailgate this Friday to celebrate the last home football game of the season and all of our Seniors.

It's hard to believe we only have two regular-season games left of #HillsboroughNightLights! 😱🏈 Last night, we captured the action from the Wharton vs Gaither matchup. Check out some of the highlights! 📸
