Wakefield High School

Went to a HS football game recently with friends - had a ball! The band was excellent and exciting! Loved the cheerleaders as well! First time I attended a HS football game in years! Brought back a lot of fun memories. We will return!

My high school, many fond memories. I will always miss my last high school, then college.
Many friends have come, many have gone.
The school had its problems in the 70s just like most of us did.
Our football team wasn't the best, but, we weren't the worse either.
It was the best 3 years of growing up as a teenager.
My rock band even got to play 3 dances there. We were too loud for them, so well we got kicked out.
Oh those were my days...my friends....Its a great school. :))

"The Addams Family" Premier at Wakefield H. S.

This magnificent musical mounted by teachers and students at Wakefield H. S. featured a superb set design, an exquisite makeup, a bright and active lighting construct, and multifarious carefully crafted costume designs in conjunction with our hilarious students involved in this fantastic cast. In addition and behind the scenes, the heroic and laudable Tech team was masterfully handling and taming the unsubordinated and wild technology to make possible, in my untrained opinion, this extraordinaire and entertaining, kooky, and most funny delightful production.

For anyone who came to see the Wakefield's production of "The Addams Family" with Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Lurch, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, Cousin Itt, Mal, Alice, Lucas, and the rest of the spooky cast, should not be a surprise to find such a great amount of talent and genius openhandedly displayed in scene. This was indeed a treasure of genuinely inspired amusing scenes carried out by our dedicated students and teachers.

I went three times to see the musical. There was a lot more to see besides the play. Although in each presentation I was discovering new facets with room to laugh and reflect, I noticed something else that called powerfully my attention, but this was not new, or surprising at all. I have seen this phenomena before persistently and incessantly at Wakefield H. S., not only in these type of events, but ubiquitously as well, regardless of the nature of the event.

Just walking in the school, you can see parents, teachers, students and administration pulling together to support each other. Selling tickets and snacks, attending the tables and the door entrance, collecting admission tickets and passing out programs, or promoting clubs and other activities, the Wakefield community was there, as one great family.

Inside the theater, you can discover even more: teachers joining from different schools making up the orchestra, parents and guests filling quickly the available seats, and impleting all the breathing space with conversation, laughs, giggles, and excitement. While this was going on, the crew and the cast were running in preparation for the spectacle, and when I turned back to look behind me, I saw the busy and anonymous Tech crew working feverishly in a mist of anonymity to support their peers. I am so proud to be an integral part of the Wakefield community.

The lights went off, the phones went silent, the noises subside, and the hundreds of eyes and ears focused on the stage. Then, the curtain opened, and the kids, -our kids- and our teacher and parents; delivered for us the most daring, ambitious, witty, and pleasurable performance. I saw this performance three times because this is an opportunity that comes to you only once in a lifetime. It was quite evident to all of us that all of you had observed a great deal of planning, coordination, and an important amount of just plain hard work and material preparation to bigheartedly giving us, this amassing gift.

My most heartfelt thanks and congratulations go to all of you for such an excellent job well done. This performance brought immense recognition and credit upon you, individually and collectively, and to our great and loving Wakefield community as a whole.

Thank you!

I loved this school. I missed my teachet. I hope to find them. Mr. Fix my math teacher got to say thanks to him! I think itwas 2006 when i left there.

Our kids loved it here. You definitely got the impression the teachers and administration cared.

Great school. The best class was 1958. Need a lot of pictures of the new school.

Best place, this school will become No #1 in exactly 5 years from now

As a venue in south Arlington it is great. As a school, did not have a great experience.

If Obama Visited this Highschool then it must be good :)

I will always miss the teachers that taught me good deeds.

I love the pool because I love putting my head underwater
