About Us

  • Whitewater High School is the newest of five high schools in the Fayette County School System. Located in Fayetteville, Georgia, WHS officially opened in the fall of 2003. For the 2023-2024 school year we have a projected enrollment of 1280 in grades 9-12. 

    Mission Statement

    The Whitewater High School community exists to provide meaningful and unique opportunities that reflect the needs of our diverse students to develop as compassionate, productive and pro-active adults.  Students will acquire the critical thinking skills needed to make informed decisions and look beyond the surface in order to seek underlying meanings.  When our students walk across the stage, they will receive not only a diploma, but will also possess the passion to serve and contribute to the world in their own individual way.
