The Waynesboro School Board proudly recognized our outstanding Junior Beta Club and Senior Beta Club members for their achievements at the recent Beta Club Convention held in Hampton! 🌟
These students represented Waynesboro with excellence, showcasing their talents, leadership, and commitment to academic success.
Congratulations to our Beta Club members and sponsors on this well-deserved recognition! 🎉
As previously announced, Monday, April 20, 2026, will now be a regular school day, and our Staff Workday will be moved to Tuesday, April 21, 2026. This change is necessary due to the special election being held across the Commonwealth of Virginia, as several of our school locations serve as polling places.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we adjust our schedule to accommodate voters.
If you’re passionate about students, building relationships, and being part of a supportive school community, we’d love to connect with you.
We are currently hiring for multiple teaching positions across content areas.

Before winter break, students in the Mythology class at Waynesboro High School welcomed a special guest from the University of Virginia .
Ivana Petrovici, from UVA’s Department of Classics, visited the class and shared an engaging and enlightening lecture on the Greek hero Hercules.
To top it off, two students were awarded copies of Homer’s Odyssey in recognition of their enthusiasm and interest in mythology.
What an incredible opportunity to connect classroom learning with higher education and spark a deeper love of literature and history!
