Join WASD Thursday, September 12, 2024, 6-7:30 PM for Parent & Community Night!

Attention WASD parents/guardians: WASD schools ARE in session on Friday, August 30th.

See you on Friday Night!

We thank the WASHS Class of 2024 for their beautiful gift to the school, which is now completed and hung on the with floor! The class chose a mural in honor of long-time WASD substitute teacher, Mr. Charles Thomas. The mural was designed and completed by Mrs. Melanie Erb of our art department and features water lilies, for which Mr. Thomas was known internationally, and lyrcis to "Sweet Violets" which he would often sing when substituting.

Here's your chance to purchase a former edition of the Wayarian yearbook!

On May 21, AP Physics 2 and AP Computer Science participated in a lecture given by Mr. Jason Brookens. Mr. Brookens is employed by the Space Telescope Science Institute where he is involved in receiving and archiving data from the Hubble and James Webb telescopes. This data is then used by scientists for various research projects. Students were able to learn about the process of getting an experiment approved, viewed images from the telescopes, heard about various roles and opportunities available in this field, discussed computer languages used in development, and asked a variety of great questions. We thank Mr. Brookens for joining us and Mrs. Lindsay Baker for arranging for his visit!

The WASHS Class of 2026 wishes to thank the MANY donors who made their seat cushion & Bingo fundraisers a success !

A great big thank you to Rodney and Janelle Cool for permitting our State & Local History class a tour of the old Waynesboro Bank Building. Mr. Cool greeted our students and identified architectural features of the 1904 Neoclassical building including the bank vault - now storage - the location of the original tellers, and marble as well as the fan-shaped stained glass windows. After the tour, students were able to enjoy Brio treats!
