Because of the health and safety measures put in place to keep the doors open this year, many of you have yet to experience a major upgrade to our campus. Enabled by the generous gifts given by donors through the Washington School Foundation, the secondary school entrance has been transformed into a bright, welcoming space. The lobby is a tangible expression of our community’s belief in the bright future of Washington School!

Students and Athlete of the week
Our High School Student Council has long awarded a Student of the Week honor to a deserving middle school and high school student. This year they started a new program to recognize an Athlete of the Week. The "Student and Athlete of the Week" awards are given out each Thursday. Teachers and coaches nominate deserving students.
Volunteering in our community
Washington School students are committed to our communities and volunteer at many different events and organizations throughout the year. This past weekend, Washington School students helped in Leland at the Deer Creek Clean Up, and our High School Student Council volunteered at the Delta Cotton Belles tennis tournament.
