Facilities

The construction of new buildings for five elementary schools, a new junior high, and a new high school was completed in 2012. Usage of the new high school building began in January 2013.

The five elementary schools and single junior high that feed Wayne High School are as follows:

The old high school comprised seven separate single-story buildings connected by covered walkways: Filbrun Hall (including the cafeteria, library, music rehearsal hall, and woodworking and metalworking shops), Hawke Hall, Storck Hall, Douglass Hall, Shank Hall, Alumni Hall, and the Gymnasium and Auditorium.

The Gymnasium and Auditorium were retained for continued usage.

The new building covers approximately 292,000 square feet. The building includes a new and larger gymnasium.

Wayne High School competes interscholastically in boys and girls sports as a member of the Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC). Wayne's current athletic director and head football coach is Jay Minton.

Boys Sports

Girls Sports

In its 50+ year history, Wayne's varsity football team has won several conference championships and has played in the OHSAA playoff tournament eighteen times. In 1999, 2010, 2014, and 2015, the team made it to the Division I state championship game, losing all four times. They are one of only two Division I schools in the Dayton area to play for a state championship. The other being Wayne's principal rival Centerville High School, who have advanced to the state title game only once.

Wayne High School Men's basketball won the 2015 Div 1 State Title under coach Travis Trice.

The football and soccer teams play home games at Good Samaritan Athletic Field at Heidkamp Stadium. Within the last five years renovations have been made to the stadium, which now boasts a synthetic turf surface and new seating. Plans were also made to add a permanent stadium entrance.

The school also has an Air Force Junior ROTC program that was created in 1975, and has its own competition Drill Team, making consecutive appearances to the Mid-Valley Regional Drill Championships in 2015 and 2016 respectively. The cadets of the program take part in many extracurricular activities, ceremonies, and are very active in community volunteering.
