Wahama High School
Wahama Junior/Senior High School is located in Mason, West Virginia, United States. It is the second-largest high school in the county. It is a part of Mason County Schools. The school was established in 1925, and its unusual name was derived from the first two letters of each of the three area districts: Waggener, Hartford, and Mason. Classes were held in the International Order of Odd Fellows building in Mason, as well as a building on the lot of the old Mason Grade School until 1931, when a new building opened on the land where the school now sits. Originally, the school housed only grades 9 through 12. Students from the Graham and New Haven districts in the county also began attending the high school. The school's stadium was built in 1948 and named Bachtel Stadium. In 1962, the school's enrollment had increased and it was necessary to add a brand new junior high building. By the 1971-1972 school year, it was decided that the newer junior high building would become the new high school and vice versa. The old high school building served as the junior high until 1989. The cafeteria was still connected to the building until 1996 when a new one was built. The junior high building was demolished in 1999.
