WHHS is the student-run radio station of Haverford Senior High School, in Havertown, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Philadelphia. WHHS is the oldest high school radio station in the country. The station itself is located within the High School, and the transmitter is located near the station, and covers a 5 to 10 mile radius around the High School. WHHS formerly occupied the 107.9 frequency, but a new, major radio station based in Philadelphia (WRNB) forced WHHS to change frequencies. WHHS currently occupies 99.9 FM under a special exemption from the FCC while the station undergoes the formal process of applying for a station license.

Typical show formats include rock, classic rock, rap/hip-hop sports talk, political talk, and sometimes more eclectic genres like classical or jazz. Occasionally, shows feature live performances from local or school-based bands.

Students of the High School apply for a radio show (usually 90 minutes long), and a typical show has 2-5 hosts. On the basis of interviews and previous experience with the station, students are chosen to fill several positions, including Station Director, Director of Music, Director of Music, Director of News, etc. The radio station provides an introduction into the radio or communications industries for students interested in careers in these fields.

A live, streaming broadcast of WHHS can be found at its website.
