Coeducation was approved for the lower grades in 1973, and expanded to include the entire school in 1975. The name of the school officially changed to The Wheeler School. The boarding program was phased out in 1979. Modern-era William C. Prescott, Jr. succeeded Hugh Madden as headmaster in 1980. The Hamilton School at Wheeler opened in 1988 to its first group of 35 students in grades 1-6. In 1990, a new library was constructed. The building was designed by Schwartz/Silver Architects of Boston. A large division of the library is named in memory of third headmistress Mabel Van Norman.

WELH-FM (Wheeler's radio station at FM 88.1) went on the air in 1994 at the end of a 10-year process begun as an Aerie student project.
