This morning, we celebrated WWES winning the inaugural Wilkes County Schools CCRPI Cup! The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is Georgia’s statewide accountability system that measures schools’ and districts’ effectiveness in preparing students for success in college and careers. This new tradition will see the Wilkes County CCRPI Cup awarded to the school with the highest CCRPI score for the year. WWES' score for the 2023-2024 school year was 84.1! Congratulations to Dr. Harkins and her staff on this outstanding achievement! We would also like to thank Ms. Tracey Jackson and her staff for preparing an excellent breakfast for WWES!

Today, we give a BIG shoutout to the incredible School Nutrition School Lunch Heroes of Wilkes County! From early mornings to busy lunch lines, they work tirelessly to ensure that every student is served a healthy meal and a warm smile. Their dedication keeps our students fueled for learning and growing, and their kindness helps make our schools feel like home. To all the cafeteria managers, cooks, and nutrition staff, you are superheroes today and every day, and we appreciate you more than words can say!

Today, we celebrate the outstanding principals of Wilkes County who keep our schools running strong. Their leadership empowers students, supports teachers, and strengthens our entire community. Thank you for your dedication, heart, and the difference you make every day! We’re proud to say we have the best in Wilkes County!
