This milestone represents a 14.53 percentage point increase in just two years, rising from 77.78% in 2024 to 87.13% in 2025 and now 92.31% in 2026. This tremendous growth reflects our students' hard work and determination, along with the commitment of the faculty, staff, and leadership at Washington-Wilkes Comprehensive High School, and the support of our families.
Through strong academic support, intentional efforts to keep students on track, and additional opportunities such as our Grad School program, WWCHS continues to find ways to help students overcome barriers and reach graduation.
We are incredibly proud of the progress at WWCHS and grateful to everyone who has played a part in helping more of our students graduate prepared for what comes next.
Practicing emergency procedures helps ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency and is an important part of keeping our schools prepared. We appreciate the cooperation of our students and staff as we continue making safety a top priority.
Congratulations to our 2026 Homecoming Queen, Allison Linares. Homecoming King: Thatcher Meech, Miss Tiger: Kate Johnston, and Cheerleader Sweatheart: Grant Newton.

Safety Update from Wilkes County Schools
Please take a moment to review the flyer below before the start of the school year. If you need to reach your child during the school day, please contact your school's front office. Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a focused learning environment for all students.
Wilkes County School Nutrition is pleased to announce that we will continue participating in the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) through the National School Lunch Program for the 2026–2027 school year.
What does this mean for your family?
Every student enrolled in Wilkes County Schools from Pre-K through 12th grade will receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost each school day. CEP allows eligible schools to provide free, nutritious meals to all students regardless of household income. No action is required from parents or guardians—no applications to complete and no meal fees to pay. Just one more way we’re working to support student health and academic success.
A la carte items (such as ice cream, chips, beverages, etc.) will be available for purchase at all schools. Students must have money in hand or funds in their account to buy these items. Payments for a la carte items, second meals, or any prior meal balances can be made in person with cash or check, or online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Elizabeth Bohler with the Wilkes County School Nutrition Department at bohlere@wilkes.k12.ga.us or 706-678-2718.
The first day of school is Friday, July 31st! If you haven't already, be sure to visit our Back-to-School Page for important information, including school supply lists, transportation information, school hours, and more.
