A $5 million upgrade was completed in 2008 that resulted in the construction of a new gymnasium and several new facilities. WSHS underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation and redevelopment that commenced in 2014. In the second semester of 2014, asbestos contamination was detected after construction workers found pieces of asbestos had fallen off the roof of a school building slated for demolition. The school was closed for a week so the site could be inspected. Teachers were sent to work from North Lake Senior High School where they connected with students via the internet so that classes could continue. The following phase of the redevelopment, involving the construction of another block of classrooms, commenced in February 2022. It is expected to finish in May 2023.
