Waller Junior High serves sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students with a curriculum designed for successful student transition into high school. All WJH students must register for language arts, math, science, social studies, and electives that include choices in fine arts, foreign language, business, vocational, wellness, physical education, and athletics. A wide range of special programs for the gifted as well as for the disabled is also available. Technology is being integrated into all subject areas at WJH, and three computer labs facilitate technology literacy for all students in the school. WJH students also actively participate in U.I.L. academic and athletic competitions.


The building currently housing Waller Junior High School was constructed in 1969 to serve as Waller High School. (The site was originally the location of the South Texas Baptist College which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1900.) The building became Waller Junior High School in 1998.
