🎬 Champions of Our School | Waynesboro High School
We’re proud to share our submission for this year’s VSBA Student Video Contest, created by our talented students as part of a Directed Studies class.
Titled “Champions of Our School,” this video celebrates the people who make a difference every day—from teachers and mentors to staff and community partners who support learning inside and outside the classroom.
Even though we didn’t place this year, we couldn’t be prouder of the creativity, teamwork, and heart that went into this project.

This week, our amazing WPS cafeteria managers rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty—literally! 🧄✨ The day started at the Waynesboro Education Farm at Berkley Glenn Elementary, where they learned about local farm operations and even planted fresh garlic.
