We Are Wando
As one of the highest performing high schools in South Carolina, Wando consistently proves that a large, public, non-magnet school serving a diverse population can produce outstanding results. We are committed to continuous improvement and we use research-based best practices as our guide. View our Annual School Report to learn more.
Academics
At Wando, we see high school graduation as an important milestone, but not the ultimate goal. We are confident that each of our graduates will leave Wando with a well-defined plan for their future education and career.
Program of Studies: Wando & East Cooper CAS
Athletics
Wando's Athletic Department has been the recipient of the SC Athletic Administrators Association's Class AAAAA Carlisle Cup for the last nine out of ten years. This first place award is awarded to the top high school's athletic program in each division in the state.
Fine Arts
More than 25% of our students excel in the visual and performing arts. Last year, 33 students were selected for the All-State Chorus, five students were selected for the All-State Orchestra, and 46 students were selected for the All-State Band.
Visit the "Fine Arts" tab above to learn more.
Clubs
Getting involved in school activities is a wonderful way to find a smaller community within a larger school. We have a growing list of clubs and organizations to join as well as a process to create new clubs.
Involvement
A school community is more than just a place where students come to learn; it's a network of individuals—students, teachers, staff, and families—who support and inspire each other. We are so grateful for our Warrior community!
To get involved, please visit the Wando PTSO website.

Our faculty and staff are second to none and we have a community that truly supports the school in everything we do. We are so blessed to call Wando High School our home!”
-Chas Coker, Principal

-Shauna Harris, Wando Parent and PTSO President
“Wando High School is an exceptional place to work and teach. The administration is dedicated and hardworking, ensuring that teachers have the support they need and that everything runs smoothly for students and their families. The faculty is extremely dedicated and incredibly talented—they collaborate effectively, inspire one another, and create an outstanding learning environment where all students can thrive.”
-Eric Wilkinson, Teacher of the Year
“My experience at Wando has been truly amazing. I have built relationships not only with other students but the amazing teachers and coaches as well. As a basketball player, I have seen first hand that the athletic department is filled with incredible coaches. In addition, Student Council has taught me a multitude of life lessons that I will carry with me after I graduate this year. Wando has provided me a family outside of my own that I know I can count on!”
-Kate Benning, Student Body President
