PHHS students visit the Barter Theatre and the Birthplace of Country Music Museum

Washington County Schools students and parents/guardians,

Please review the attached document regarding summer school offerings for elementary, middle, and high school students.

Inscriptions in stone and bronze are an invaluable source of knowledge about ancient Greece and Rome. John Walker, Patrick Henry's Latin teacher, displays plaster replicas of two such inscriptions in his classroom, and they are the subject "Romans in Appalachia," a note in the latest bulletin of the American Society of Greek and Latin Epigraphy. As Brown University's Professor John Bodel explains, replicas of inscriptions are an excellent means of exposing students to epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions. PHHS is one of only two sites in Virginia (the other being the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) listed in the U.S. Epigraphy Project's database of Greek and Latin inscriptions.

The Appalachian Area FFA Spring Rally was held on Monday, April 4, 2022 at the Wytheville Community College.
