Although I have contacted the Woodford County Board of Education Super, Scott Hawkins. Several of the staff at WCHS wear very low cut blouses. Very unprofessional.

The school is so SMALL the breaks between classes is staggered because the halls will not accomidate all students. There aren't enough lockers for all students. You now have to RENT a locker. If you are poor you get to carry ALL of your books around ALL day.

No photography classes offered. No Chess Club offered. If you play football, basketball, wrestle or you are a cheerleader you will have activities. Otherwise look outside the county.

The WCHS is a perfect example of “politics at its best”. Although a code of conduct and dress code have been established and all kids are supposed to follow these codes, not all kids have to follow the codes. There are many exceptions to these rules. There are many staff who DO NOT dress professionally. The motto should be "Do As I Say, Not As I Do". This would fit the WCHS perfectly.
