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.
