We are excited to announce the Wayne County High School Homecoming 2026 theme: GENERATIONS OF GREATNESS

This year, we celebrate what makes Wayne County special: the traditions, memories, accomplishments, and Yellow Jacket pride that have been passed down from one generation to the next.

Generations of Greatness is a celebration of where we have been, where we are today, and where we are going. It is a reminder that every student, athlete, teacher, coach, graduate, family, and community member is part of the story of Wayne County High School. Together, we honor the past. Celebrate the present. Inspire the future.

We invite our students, families, alumni, organizations, and community members to help us make this year's Homecoming a celebration to remember!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we wrap up the first week of school, we want to thank our students, families, and staff for helping make the start of the school year a great one. We would like to make you aware of some transportation challenges we are currently experiencing due to a bus driver shortage. Please know that we are working each day diligently to accommodate the needs of our students and families while maintaining safe and reliable transportation services. Our school district has 43 routes, and we drive 3,713 miles in one day, transporting students to and from school. This does not include additional transportation needs such as athletics, field trips, etc. As you can imagine, this is a major undertaking.

As we navigate these staffing challenges, you may notice that your child has a different bus number and/or driver in the morning than in the afternoon. This occurs because some drivers are only available to operate morning routes or afternoon routes.

Additionally, there may be times when a school bus experiences mechanical issues and must be taken out of service. When this happens, we use a spare bus to transport students, which may result in a different bus number than usual.

There may also be occasions when regular bus drivers are absent, and substitute drivers are assigned to routes. If substitute drivers are unavailable, our transportation staff may need to combine or adjust routes. As a result, different bus numbers may be used, and some routes may experience delays.

During the first week or so of school, some parents take their kids to school and pick them up in the afternoon. After the student adjusts to school, they begin riding a bus. This sometimes causes issues when the bus driver is not aware that the students need to be picked up. If you have been transporting your student to school, but need transportation assistance in the future, please contact your child’s school, and they will notify the transportation department.

We understand that these changes can be inconvenient, and we greatly appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work through these unforeseen circumstances. Our transportation team remains committed to providing safe and dependable service for all students.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Wayne County School System
