Focusing on student empowerment, WAHS is focused on providing a range of opportunities for students to genuinely impact school policies and become involved in local, state and national issues. Examples of this include the work students did petitioning the school board and General Assembly for additional mental health resources; the creation of school equity teams; and class projects in which students explored school issues such as increasing opportunities in the fine arts and presenting possible solutions to stakeholders. Western Albemarle High School houses the School Division's Environmental Sciences Academy.
