Campus

WAHS Main Building, from southeast

Every schoolday, thousands of students and visitors pass through the doors of our main entrance. Our stately Main Building, the oldest part of our campus, reminds us of our venerable tradition of excellence, and the high expectations of those who built it.

Centered atop the Seventeenth Street entrance to our Main Building is an illuminated clock of classical design. The flanking figures represent Science and Literature. The owl denotes Wisdom, perched on the Scroll of Learning. The east-facing, four-foot clock face greets the rising sun each morning.
