Wiregrass Ranch High School is a Pasco County public school in Wesley Chapel, Florida. It was the first new high school in Pasco County in seven years and was built to relieve overcrowding primarily at Wesley Chapel High School. In the first part of the 2006/2007 school year, it was based in portables behind Thomas E. Weightman Middle School and used much of their facilities, such as their cafeteria and media center before the permanent facility opened in January 2007.

In the 2008-2009 school year Wiregrass Ranch will have its first Graduating (Senior) Class and its first "full house" with expected enrollment around 1800 or more. Dr. John Long Middle School is the main middle school in the WRHS area that is sending freshmen to Wiregrass. The incoming class of 2012 will be the largest class with about 600 students.

[edit] Teacher of the Year

Since its opening, Wiregrass has won both Pasco County Teacher of the Year awards making it the only school in Florida to win district awards consecutively since its opening.
