Shout out to the Patrick Henry High School FCA. These students meet each Thursday morning at 7:45 in the library. The club is student lead and always gives members a way to start the day with some encouragement.
All students are invited to pre-register at strivefair.com to attend College Night on Tuesday, Sept. 12 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center. Registering prior to College Night will allow students to track the college representatives they have spoken with throughout the event. Students will receive a QR code via text and email, and will show the QR code to the college reps. Please reach out to your high school's college navigator or guidance counselor if you have questions. Hope to see you there!

This is a reminder that Underclassman Picture Day for Patrick Henry High School students is scheduled for Monday, August 28. Seniors who did not get their portraits made by PhotoGenius over the summer, need to plan to do so on Monday, August 28 as well. This is the last opportunity to have senior portraits made at school. After this date, seniors will need to call PhotoGenius and set up an appointment in their studio in Gate City. In order for senior pictures to appear in the yearbook, portraits must be made by Patrick Henry's official school photographer, PhotoGenius. Seniors need to bring the required $20.00 sitting fee to their portrait session.
Patrick Henry High School students were treated to their yearly Back to School Bash on Friday, August 25, 2023. During 3rd block, students were able to play games, enjoy talking to friends, and get their yearbooks! A fun time was had by all!

On behalf of High Point Elementary School I would like to thank the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police for their assistance with the situation that led to High Point going on a soft lockdown for most of the school day today. They provided guidance and extra personnel to ensure our students and staff were safe. We greatly appreciate their expertise, professionalism, and collaboration.
I would also like to thank the Administration at High Point Elementary for making decisions that erred on the side of student/staff safety and for communicating the status of the situation multiple times throughout the day to our parents. We will brief the situation with administration and law enforcement tomorrow to ensure that we continue best practices and improve in the areas that need adjustments.
One of the early take aways is that we can communicate more efficiently by encouraging parents and stakeholders sign up for the Washington County App. Please visit this site (https://www.wcs.k12.va.us/article/1203297) for more information about this app and a link to download it.
Again, thanks to everyone who helped keep our kids and staff safe, nothing we do is more important. If you have suggestions on how we can make our schools safer, please don't hesitate to share your ideas with us.
