Wrangell High School is a public high school located in Wrangell, Alaska, United States. It is operated by Wrangell Public Schools.
The school has a cooperative agreement with the University of Alaska Southeast to help high school students acquire technical skills and college credits. The program began with construction techniques and woodworking, but has expanded.[1]
Its basketball teams compete with other high school teams in the state. In March 2015, the "Wrangell Wolves" basketball team won fourth place in a statewide tournament, along with awards for the highest grade point averages (GPA) in the state as well as good sportsmanship.[2] In December 2014, the Wrangell High School wrestling team won a southeast regional tournament for the first time in more than 20 years.[3]
Behind the high school, a hiking trail named for John Muir begins. A 15-minute climb up that John Muir Trail goes through second-growth forest to an observation platform atop Mt. Dewey.[4]
