Campus

Wheeler High School occupies a continuous red-brick building that houses the middle school, high school, shared media center, and shared cafeteria/multi-purpose room. The red cinder-block gymatorium (gymnasium/auditorium) is located across Route 2 and is connected to the main campus by a tunnel that runs under the two-lane highway. Also on the opposite side of the road are the sports fields, including a soccer field ringed by a crushed asphalt track, a softball field, a baseball field, and a practice field that is used by the lacrosse and soccer teams as well as the physical education classes. The baseball and softball fields are unique in that they do not have outfield fences, and every ball hit in fair territory is essentially in play. The playing fields and track are also used by the North Stonington Elementary School (Grades K-5), located adjacent to the gymatorium, for physical education classes and field days. The Wheeler Library is located on Main Street which is on the back-side of the middle school portion of the building.
