Congratulations to the Lady Jackets softball team for their wins in the first round of the GHSA Class AAAA playoffs yesterday! We need a strong turnout from our fans for the next round as we host East Forsyth on October 22. Come out to Barbara Struckhoff Field and support the girls on their march to a state title.
FREE performance tonight!
Come out to Jaycee Stadium tonight to watch the complete performance of INFERNO by the Wayne County High School Marching Band. You won’t be disappointed. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your neighbors. Let’s give these kids the crowd they deserve.
Due to the unpredictable nature of Hurricane Milton, we feel that it is in the best interest of all students and staff members to cancel school on Thursday, October 10. After consulting with Wayne Emergency Management, we anticipate seeing some wind and/or rain that may impact our area. We are expecting to be under a Tropical Storm Watch for the remainder of today and some of Thursday. Wind gusts may be as great as 35 mph, which is at the threshold for having buses traveling safely on our roads. In addition, with the ground already saturated in many places from Hurricane Helene there is a possibility that high winds could bring down more trees causing power outages. Please take the necessary precautions to ensure that you and your family are safe, and we will plan for school to resume on Friday, October 11.
Also, we have had a number of questions from parents asking about Monday, October 14, and Tuesday, October 15. Those days are previously scheduled holidays for students. We do not plan to use those days as severe weather make-up days so enjoy that time with your family. Tuesday, October 15 is a workday for all WCSS employees.
