Warren Area High School (WAHS) is a government-funded high school in Warren, Pennsylvania, built 1961. The school has 743 students as of the 2017–2018 school year. It is one of four high schools operated by Warren County School District. The WAHS mascot is a dragon. There is also Warren County Career Center located on the WAHS campus, offering vocational-technical education opportunities to students in grades 10-12. The campus includes the Warren Area Elementary Center (Grades K–4). After graduating from Beaty-Warren Middle School (Grades 5–8), students proceed to Warren Area High School (Grades 9–12).
WAHS was established long before 1961. The current campus was built in 1961. The predecessor graduated its last class that year. Its third story was condemned as a fire hazard in 1928 and restored to functioning in 1959. Today it has 2½ stories (the "pit", the first floor and second floor) as well as a basement, and consists of a gymnasium, cafeteria, auditorium, courtyard, study hall, library, 2 lobbies and much more. WAHS is owned and operated by the Warren County School District.
The school underwent a major renovation, which was completed in 2018.[3] The new campus features a new media center, gymnasium, band and choir rooms, aesthetics, and classrooms.
