From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Western Guilford High School is located in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is part of the Guilford County School system. The school has 1,440 students and its sports teams are the Fighting Hornets.

In September 2002, Western Guilford was renovated via public bond. The design of the new addition integrates different components of the campus by introducing new circulation patterns. A new entry gallery at the front entry to the school was designed; along with art and classroom additions form an internal courtyard. The addition consists of four basic elements: Classroom addition to the vocational building, a cafeteria expansion (the cafeteria is still really small) and gym, a 2 story classroom addition and a single story art addition.

The school's mascot is Buzz the Hornet and the school colors are Black and Gold. Western is a member of the Triad 3A Conference and the Athletic Director is Jim Clontz.

The principal is Richard Armstrong who replaced the former principal, Dr. Randy Shaver, who now serves as superintendent for Whiteville City Schools. The school operates on a "Traditional Schedule," which uses 6 classes per day (all year long) as opposed to the "Block Schedule" of 4 classes a day (for only one semester).
