what makes our schools great browers

Washington Community Schools has prepared me for both the successes and the adversities that I have experienced both personally and professionally and I trust it will best prepare my children as well.

WCS teaches students about diversity of cultures, classes, interests, clubs and it prepares them for their next steps whether that be entering the workforce through their vocational training programs or preparing to advance careers through college education. It also offers so many extracurricular activities and clubs that kids can test their interest while building character and growing to better themselves.

I am a proud parent of 4 WCS students and I am thankful to a community and school that strives to make it the best it can be. I've always been a firm believer of "Bloom where you are planted" and WCS is where we have put our roots.

what makes our schools great Holly

Washington Community Schools is home to us. My husband Josh (2002) and I (2003) both graduated from WHS. We are high school sweethearts and have been married for 18 years. We have two daughters (Elaine and Abi) who attend WCS, and one future Hatchet at at home (Riley).

We love so many things about our school. We have dedicated, resourceful, and loving teachers. We have amazing coaches and a great athletic department. Our school is always moving forward and trying to improve in every way. We believe our school partnered with us as parents and our local church will equip our 3 children well for life outside of school.

-Holly B., parent

The open communication with staff and administration makes you feel informed and involved. This, paired with a strong dedication to excellence and student-focused learning, ensures our kids have a great educational experience. It’s a nurturing environment where students truly thrive!

-Clarrisa C., parent

Feeling connected with the community and celebrated for our diverse backgrounds is a joy! Communication is clear, and I truly appreciate how often we're kept in the loop. If group contracts were used for projects, it would be even better by creating even more sense of community and team building.

-Amy H., parent

I'm genuinely impressed with our school district. The focus on academics is strong, but they also ensure students have diverse opportunities that go beyond the classroom. Communication with parents is always clear and consistent. It's a fantastic environment for children's education!
