J.C. Williams Public Wizarding High School is located at the corner of Seventeenth and Main Street. It was first built in the seventies and resembled every other unattractive building from the same decade, with a beige exterior that is more of an eyesore than anything else.
There is a parking lot located right behind the high school. The left part of it was painted over with a practice pad for the marching band. There's a football field that tripled as a track, quidditch field, and a soccer field to the left of the building with a baseball field located just a little bit always further down the road.
A statue of the renowned J.C. Williams, who had done nothing more than own lots of land and donate generously to the school board, stood just outside the main steps leading up to the school. It is covered in layers of bird poop and graffiti. While the statue, like most wizard statues, can move, it simply gave up years after being built, and now just stands there looking pathetic.
Inside, the school is a maze of hallways with low paneled ceilings. The school had been built in the seventies, but the science wing had been added on in the eighties, and the gymnasium had been updated in the early two thousands. On top of that, the hallways seem to enjoy moving in order to keep the students on their toes. One day the B hall will be next to the front office, and the next it will be tucked behind the theatre room.
The hallways of the school are covered with inspirational posters that say cliché things such as 'be yourself, no one else is boing to be you for you' and 'there's no I in team'. There aren't any ghosts that haunted the halls of Williams(there is one in the cafeteria, though, which was probably why almost no one eats there).
The students at the public wizarding school are required to take four core classes; english, history, math, and science/potions. They are also required to take at least two years of a foreign language, as well as health and communication applications. Aside from those few requirements, they can take any class that they wish. A multitude of wizard and muggle classes are offered by the high school.
Unlike the foreign counterparts and private wizarding schools, not a single student lives at Williams Public Wizarding High School, and not a single one wants to. There are unknown creatures in the ventilation that one can often hear scurrying about, and, on a rare occasion, talking. Every student goes home as soon as the bell rings at three thirty.
There are many clubs at Williams including the Potion Fair Club, the Deadly Curses Enthusiast Club, the Whiz Quiz, the Witches Rights Club, the Debate Team, the Video Game Club, the Magical Languages Club, the ASL Club, and many more. One can join any of these clubs simply by signing up in the front office(which is usually located at the back of the building).
The quidditch team at J.C. Williams is one of the best in the district. Which is a good thing, seeing as they are horrible at every other sport. They lose almost every non-quidditch game. Yet, somehow, they still have more funding than the arts program.
It had been decided a few years ago, mostly because they were tired losing every football game, that the homecoming game would be switched from football to quidditch. So, now they, at least, win the game.
Wizards and witches of all different backgrounds are allowed at Williams. All that one has to do to attend is live in the area, and have magical abilities. There is no dress code, or houses. At J.C. Williams Public Wizarding High School it is every wizard for themselves. Just like every other public high school in the United States of America.
