George Washington High School (Charleston, West Virginia)

George Washington High School is a public high school in Charleston, West Virginia, USA. GWHS opened in 1965 to accommodate students in South Hills and Loudendale ostensibly because Charleston High School was overcrowded. Prior to this time students in Charleston were divided between Charleston and Stonewall Jackson high schools.
