Students at PH enjoyed an egg-cellent Friday! Colored eggs were hidden throughout the building today. When a student found one, they exchanged it for a sweet treat!
Promtastic! The Pop-Up Prom Shop was a success. Over 700 new dresses were made available to Washington & Smyth County students. Dresses were $25, but the smiles were priceless! A shoutout to If It's Hair, Ombré Nail Bar, A Cut 4 U, and Dragonfly Spa & Boutique for providing gift certificates for some special students.

Washington County Schools Theatre Arts Camp at Emory & Henry College is back for our 3rd year! Camp runs Monday through Saturday, June 10-15 from 8:30-3:30 daily, with a final presentation on Saturday afternoon, June 15th. To be eligible for camp, students must live in Washington County, VA and be a rising 3rd through 12th grader. Camp is free to families and includes daily programming, a T-shirt, lunch, and even a trip to Barter Theatre!
In the past we have had overwhelming interest in our camp, and while we want to include every student, spots are limited. In an effort to be as equitable as possible in our registration process, we will open a window for families to complete a CAMP INTEREST FORM from March 15 - 25. Completing the form does NOT guarantee a spot at the camp but does ENTER YOUR STUDENT into a registration lottery. We will lottery the available spots based on a tiered system and notify families by April 1. Those students not selected in the initial lottery will be placed on a waitlist and offered spots as they become available. Families will be allocated spots together.
We expect students from all tiers to be offered spots. Students MUST be available for the entirety of camp to participate.
Available spots will be lotteried based on the following tiers:
Tier 1 - Campers wait-listed last year
Tier 2 - Returning campers
Tier 3 - New campers
All students must complete a CAMP INTEREST FORM by March 25 to be considered for a spot.

Do you need a dress for the prom? Look no further!
At Patrick Henry High School, to celebrate Pi Day (3-14), Mrs. Boothe's third period trigonometry class used breadsticks to approximate the value of pi (a spinoff of Buffon's Needle). Breadsticks (garlic butter and all) were tossed over 200 times to collect data. Their approximation wasn't 3.14 (3.4) but it was fun, messy and smelled great. Since breadsticks were already being made, why not save a few and enjoy spaghetti for lunch. Happy Pi Day!!!
Patrick Henry High School students participated in the first annual Washington County Arts and Poetry contest this Spring. Allyssa Campbell won Best Overall and Angel Pennington won 5th place. Congratulations to all of our rebels who participated!
