I am a graduate of White Pine High School. I came to Ely for my last 3 years after attending the largest high school in the state before that. Like all schools, White Pine has its own quirks and areas that could probably be improved upon. This being the case, I feel that I received an excellent education
... Read more at WPHS. All of the teachers seemed to have the student's best interests at heart. It is a small school that offers small class sizes with ample one-on-one help. It is also big enough to have all of the extra curricular and vocational courses offered by larger schools. Many students participate in Sports, NHS, Band, Choir, Cheerleading, etc... I am currently a VERY dedicated Secondary Education Major at the University of Nevada and would be proud to return to WPHS as a teacher one day. Read less

On the contrary Ms.Allphin, I believe that this school is actually a very good school in comparison to those who's teachers don't even know the names of any of their students. We have access to one on one focus from teachers to students, and we also have the abilities to do well. Just take a look at
... Read more the Proficiency Scores for the last two years. We are considered to be in the top schools of Nevada. Just because our school has a 'strict' dress code, doesn't give you any license to complain. It is merely for our benefit, and Just because you feel like coming to school dressed inappropriately doesn't mean that you should be allowed to distract other students with your inappropriate choice of clothing. This school does focus on education, and also on clothing.! Read less
