Welcome to William Penn High School, "Home of the Colonials."
We are a community of approximately 2200 students and 200 professional and support staff working together to prepare young people for the demands of the 21st century. William Penn is a four-year comprehensive high school accredited by Middle States. It is designed to prepare students for further formal education or for the workplace with the understanding that lifelong learning will be a necessity for all. The school offers a highly trained, veteran staff; award-winning programs; a wide range of extra-curricular activities; and the latest technology - all of which are essential to our mission. Many graduates go on to attend and successfully complete programs at four-year colleges and two-year trade or technical schools. Each year, seniors are awarded scholarships that total over one million dollars. Students benefit from local colleges and businesses through many partnerships such as the Work Study Program, Communities in Schools, Jobs for Delaware Graduates, Discover, and the Tech Prep program. William Penn provides a Career Center with full-time staff to assist students with educational and employment decisions to supplement the traditional guidance program. The staff and students of William Penn High School are proud of their strong tradition of excellence in academics and extra-curricular activities.

Mission
Our community has outlined its vision for all of the schools in the Colonial School District: Students shall be empowered to meet the challenges of the 21st century. To accomplish this, we must equip students with the skills to think for themselves, learn on their own, and appreciate the contributions of others. They must have knowledge of the basics - language arts, math, social studies, science, and the arts, so they can make informed decisions, be successful, and appreciate our rich heritage.
