Joseph E. Wheeler High School Name Change

We are a group of high school students, teachers, and community members who believe that the Wheeler community deserves a name that celebrates diversity, growth, and inclusivity, rather than hate and injustice.

A name change would be a statement that Cobb County stands with its students, and fights for inclusion and diversity. Now is the time to make change for good.
