🎡 The wait is finally over, and the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair is underway!

As you enjoy the rides, food, exhibits and entertainment, be sure to take the time to see the incredible work (and talent!) of our students, including student artwork, CTE exhibits and agricultural displays.

Over the next week and a half, hundreds of our students will also take to the stage, cheer mat and other event venues to compete in the various fair competitions. We hope you’ll join us in cheering them on!

🇺🇸 Never Forget 🇺🇸

Under the Friday night lights, two opponents came together for a moment of unity, reflection and remembrance, honoring the first responders, service members and countless others whose lives were forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

Thank you, GHS Cougars and CBA Golden Falcons, for creating such a special moment!

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

WCPS remembers 9/11. 🇺🇸

From classroom discussions to school-wide events, schools remembered those whose lives were forever changed by the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago. Rosewood High held a special remembrance ceremony which also recognized the military members and first responders who continue to answer the call when tragedy strikes.
