"We are truly blessed to live in a community where so many of our schools can share similar recognitions. Patrick Henry High School is very proud to represent Washington County and Southwest Virginia in receiving these accolades, but we are certainly not content.  As a school community, we will continue to work hard to improve our scores in Math, Science, and Writing, and across the AP curriculum. We will also continue to provide students with a wide variety of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities.  As always, we will continue to build relationships with our students and parents because we know how crucial relationships are to individual student success and the success of our school. Our vision truly is to Empower Students for Global Citizenship in the 21st Century. We appreciate your support in helping us strive toward this goal."
