Funding flows from the WHPS district budget (local property taxes, state education funding, and federal grants), supplemented by nominal fee-based streams including UConn ECE per-credit charges ($25/credit for add/drop changes), paid meal pricing, and athletic registration fees. The institution is led by Principal Sarah Isaacs with two Assistant Principals (Dr. Timothy Kessler for last names A–F and Win Columbano for O–Z), an Athletic Director, and department supervisors across all major academic disciplines, operating under the oversight of the West Hartford Board of Education and the Connecticut State Department of Education.
