Ware County High School was formed in 1958 by the merging of Waresboro and Wacona High Schools. Expansion occurred in 1993 when the Waycross City Schools dropped their charter and Waycross High was merged into Ware County Senior High. In 1994, the doors were opened to a brand new high school in Ware County. It is located on the Valdosta Highway and home to more than 1500 students and 110 faculty members.
The Ware County Gators high school football team made it to the state AAAA championship game during the 2007 season.
