Wapakoneta High School
Wapakoneta High School (WHS), is a public high school located in Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1904, it is one of four schools that make up the Wapakoneta City School District. The high school building is located on the north side of Wapakoneta, near the downtown area. Athletic teams are known as the "Redskins", with school colors of red and white. The school's enrollment is 1,160 students in grades 8 through 12. The current building opened in 1990. The former high school was adapted as the current Wapakoneta Middle School. Prior to 1956, the district's high school, built in 1908, was known as Blume High School. Native American tribes historically occupied this territory. Some have objected to use of "Redskins" for sports teams, as they consider it a derogatory term. As a result of repeated complaints and heightened social justice activism, including the George Floyd protests, in 2020 the former NFL Washington Redskins dropped that team name.
