As of 2007 there are about 1100 students enrolled at WCHS.

The school's mascot is the panther and the school colors are orange and black. The school currently has school sponsored teams of baseball, football, basketball, girls' volleyball, softball, golf, soccer, tennis, cross country, wrestling, cheerleading, boys swimming, girls swimming, and both boys' and girls' track. Also, once a year the school sponsors an event called Powder Puff Football, in which all girls can sign up and play touch football. The freshman girls are against sophomores, and the juniors play against the senior class.
Growth and expansion
The 1950s to 1970s saw rapid expansion in the student body and in campus development. The additions made in 1956, 1961, and 1962 tripled the the size of the original building. During 1974 and 1975 the James Ashbrook building and new library were added. In 1977 the size of the student body reached 1720 students.
In 2005 construction began on "Five Points Washington", the new Washington community center just west of the football stadium, which was completed in late 2007. The facility includes an indoor swimming pool, an auditorium, and a new library. Most of the choral and band concerts will be performed at the auditorium, as will the musicals and plays. The facility opened in October, 2007.
