rdf:langString Winnisquam Regional High School is a public high school located in Tilton, New Hampshire, in the United States. They are commonly known as the Bears, which is their school mascot. Students of the school are primarily from the towns of Sanbornton, Tilton, and Northfield, though some other towns are represented. The school is commonly referred to by its abbreviation, "WRHS". Recently the school's New Hampshire State Test scores have been steadily rising, and the school district has made strides to boost the WRHS curriculum, most notably by increasing the AP course selection. In 2001, funds in the amount of $17 million were approved by the tri-town area in an effort to completely renovate the school as well as construct a new gymnasium and additional classroom space. During the renovation, the much beloved Star Wars mural that had covered the main wall of the old cafeteria had to be dismantled. Winnisquam Regional High School operates a school of agricultural science in a separate building on its main campus. This "Ag Center" allows Winnisquam students, as well as students from nearby towns, to take vocational classes in agriculture, animal science, horticulture, and forestry for high school credit. The center maintains a greenhouse which grows a wide variety of flowers and plants.
