The first day of school in the Wayne County School District was exciting! A whirlwind of emotions and experiences took place across campus. We saw students walking onto campus in new outfits, full of excitement and nervousness. New friends were made and old friendships were rekindled as everyone shared their summer adventures.
This year promises to be a year of growth, learning and unforgettable moments. Whether you are returning to familiar hallways or entering new ones, you are an essential part of our vibrant school community. Our dedicated teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to prepare classrooms, lessons and activities that will inspire and challenge our students. We look forward to seeing you, hearing your ideas and supporting you every step of the way.
