Good morning,
Unfortunately, we are having trouble with our air conditioning unit in B Hall. At 6am our custodian found this problem and Southern Air was notified as well our county maintenance department.
After three vacant teaching jobs were filled, work began to move the classes from upstairs B to other parts of the building including the auditorium, media center, and computer labs.
Our hope is that this problem will be fixed by this afternoon. If it is not, we will work on placing the classes from downstairs B into other sections of the building.
If the problem continues into tomorrow, classes will continue to meet in other cooler locations.
Good afternoon,
Today, our fire alarm was pulled again during one of the lunch shifts. We do not have a fire or any other type of emergency today at Washington High School.
However, this behavior is creating serious disruptions to the school day. We are viewing cameras and will be interviewing students.
If your student has information related to this behavior, please encourage him or her to seek our Officer DeSarno.
In addition to school consequences, we do plan to seek any criminal charges available for us to file.
I appreciate your support and trust.
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Today, September 30, at approximately 1:50pm, the fire alarm went off at WHS.
The students did evacuate the building with staff members when the alarm sounded.
The building was inspected and there was no fire. The alarm company was notified not to contact the fire company.
Students and staff returned to the building at 2:05pm.
If it is determined that a student pulled the alarm, there will be appropriate disciplinary action.
Thank you as always for your support.

Senior financial aid night hosted by Shepherd University
Today, during second lunch at approximately 12 noon, our fire alarm went off at Washington High School.
The alarm was triggered by smoke coming from a rooftop unit over F hall. The fire company did arrive on site and assessed the situation before students and staff were able to safely reenter the building. Despite the interruption, all students did have the opportunity to eat lunch.
For more details, read the letter posted below from our principal Judy Ann Marcus.
Check out the hard work of the Key Club next time you are on our campus. These students planted 15 mums, 150 bulbs, 50 tiger lilies and picked up trash around the track/football field!
