Although, this number has probably gone up as of the 2021 - 2022 school year due to an unexpected surge in enrollment mere weeks before the school year started. Williamston High School is a 9th-12th grade school. Location wise, Williamston High School is right next to the Williamston Middle School, separated by a swamp.

Williamston High School was built in 1991, and has received many additions and renovations over the years despite being a relatively new building. The current building is the 3rd structure built to serve the purpose as the Williamston High School in the WCS district. Around 1996, a minor expansion was made which included the addition of the 4 classrooms at the end of the B-hall and D-hall. In 2007, a major expansion of over 76,000 square feet took place, which included the addition of the entire F-hallway and a new gymnasium.

During the summer of 2019, Williamston High School was the first building to have its main entrance upgraded as a part of the district's Secure Entrance Project. This included the addition of a main office entrance at the front of the school, as well key-card based security for all building entrances. These renovations cost $290,000.
