Purple Star Designated

In an effort to better support students of military members in our community, Westerville Central High School works to identify and inform teachers of the military-connected students in their classrooms and the special considerations and resources they should receive. Military family members can contact the military liaison for their child's school with any questions.

Welcome to

Westerville Central High School, home of the “Warhawks!”

We understand that relocation, deployment, and reintegration can be stressful times for families. This stress can exert an impact on student learning.  This page is designed to assist members of the Armed Forces and their families who are part of the Warhawk family. Please make us aware that you are a military family.  

WCHS serves students with a wide range of abilities including those with Multiple Handicaps to students taking Advanced Placement (AP) and College Credit Plus (CCP) courses.  For students who are athletically inclined WCHS offers 20 varsity sports, as well as several club sports. Additional extra curricular activities include the Drama Department, Music Department, and several student clubs.

Any time WCHS can be of assistance please call the school (614) 797-6800.
