Wahama Junior/Senior High School is located in Mason, West Virginia. It is the second-largest high school in the county.
Wahama High School was established in 1925 and its unusual name was derived from the first two letters of each of the three area districts: Waggener, Hartford, Mason.
The school's stadium was built in 1948 and named Bachtel Stadium.
In 1962, the school's enrollment had increased to add a brand new Junior High Building. By the 1971 - 1972 school year, it was decided that the newer junior high building would become the new high school and vice versa.
The old high school building served as the junior high building until 1989. The cafeteria was still connected to the building until 1996 when a new one was built. The junior high building faced the wrecking ball in 1999.

The White Falcons belong to the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) and the Tri-Valley Conference, a 16-member athletic conference located in southeastern Ohio. The conference is divided into two divisions based on school size. The Ohio Division features the larger schools and the Hocking Division features the smaller schools. Wahama will officially begin league play in the TVC HOCKING in Fall 2010. Wahama is the first school located in the State of West Virginia to join the Tri Valley Conference.

Football is the most popular sport at Wahama and draws great crowd support each fall. Wahama has repeatedly clinched post-season playoff berths to become one of the top programs in single A. The 2001 and 2003 teams made final four appearances and both times fell to the Moorefield Yellowjackets, led by Reed Williams and company. Leading the White Falcon football squad is head coach Ed Cromley, and assistant coaches Joe Johnson, Dave Barr, Tom Cullen, Rick Kearns, Donnie VanMeter and Aaron Faulk. Volunteer support staff include Jodie Roush and Scott Johnson. In 2010, Wahama posted a 10-0 regular season and their first league championship in their first year of being a member of the TVC hocking division. They won their first 3 playoff games with victories over St. Marys, WV (19-0), East Hardy (73-38), and Wirt County (31-14). Wahama lost the championship game to Wheeling Central Catholic High School in the school's first appearance at the Super Six at Wheeling Island Stadium.
Baseball – The Wahama High School baseball team has a rich history in being competitive each year. The baseball team has two WVSSAC state titles; the first was in 1996 when the White Falcons defeated the Van High School Bulldogs 3-2. They claimed their second title in 1998 by defeating the Moorefield High School Yellowjackets 9-4. They also have numerous Regional and Sectional titles under their belt.
