Wylie High School, home of AHMO pride, is the original high school of Wylie, Texas. Our students and staff are proud of the traditions and many achievements that have occurred since its opening in 1905. WHS has an enrollment of close to 3,000 students and we are still growing. Our school is known for its strong academics, accomplished fine arts, and winning athletic program.
FOCUS ON SUPPORT
This year all of us experienced our fair share of challenges. We chose to look at this year as a great opportunity to provide increased support for our teachers and students as they navigated through change and uncertainty. We focused our efforts on promotions that kept up spirits on campus, as well as increased virtual and remote support.
