Whistling Pines Junior High

Whistling Pines Junior High is a middle school located in Whistling Pines. It is the main setting of nearly all of the games in the Rockett Series and the alma mater of nearly all of its characters. Its mascots are The Pine and, to a lesser extent, woodpeckers.

When the games were in development, the school was originally going to be called Tall Pines Junior High (TPJH).

Curriculum
WPJH serves the 7th and 8th grades. In the games, the school day runs on a seven period schedule, each about an hour long, with one period for lunch. In the books, it operates on an eight period schedule. Before 1st period, students spend time in homeroom where attendance is taken and school-wide announcements are made. This homeroom is not the same teacher and classroom as their first period class. In the games, all of the 8th graders in the series have either Mr. Baldus or Mrs. Tinydahl, the two Language Arts teachers, as their homeroom teacher. (In New School, Miko Kajiyama has Mr. Weaseldorf as her homeroom teacher, but her report card in Secret Invitation lists Tinydahl as her homeroom teacher.)  In the books, all of the 8th graders seem to be in Mr. Baldus' homeroom.
