Contents

It was not until 2005 that the school was officially called "Warrenton High School" by the district. Prior to that time there was a very-often-brought-up (and sometimes heated) debate as to whether the school's official name was "Warrenton High School" or "Warren Co. R-3 High School." This confusion is still present, as MSHSAA officially calls all sports teams "Warren County." Following the tradition of students, however, district superintendent John Long decided to call the school "Warrenton High School" officially as of '05.[ citation needed ]

Warrenton High School's colors are red and white. Its mascot is the Warrior.

Warrenton High School is on a 4 day week. [5] It is the second biggest school in Missouri to have adopted it.[ citation needed ]
