🚌✨ Summer Work Behind the Scenes! ✨🚌
While students enjoy a well-deserved summer break, our WCPS Transportation Department is hard at work preparing for the new school year!
A special shoutout to Mr. Jerry Hurd and Mr. Randy Carter, who have spent more than a decade washing and cleaning school buses. Over the years, they have cleaned hundreds of buses (annually), helping ensure that students begin each school year riding in a clean, welcoming environment. This summer, they plan to sanitize and clean over 100 regular buses, activity buses, and handicap buses.
Once the buses are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, our mechanics and technicians begin year-end inspections and complete important maintenance to ensure every bus is safe and ready for August.
We are incredibly grateful for the dedication of our transportation team—mechanics, technicians, bus drivers, and support staff—who work year-round to keep our students safe. Thank you for everything you do to help make the upcoming school year a success; and a special thank you to Mr. Hurd and Mr. Carter!!!
🏆 Congratulations to Eastside High School for ranking 1st (Class 1) in the Virginia Army National Guard Cup! 🏆
Eastside High School finished #1 in the 2025–2026 Class 1 Virginia Army National Guard Cup Final Standings with 100 points, earning recognition as the top overall Class 1 program in Virginia.
The Virginia Army National Guard Cup, awarded by the Virginia High School League, is one of the highest honors in Virginia high school competition. Often called the "State Champion of Champions," the award recognizes schools that achieve excellence across both athletics and academic activities throughout the school year. Schools earn points through success in VHSL state championships, academic competitions, and sportsmanship achievements.
This accomplishment reflects the dedication, hard work, and commitment of Eastside's student-athletes, academic competitors, coaches, teachers, administrators, and supporters. Wise County Public Schools are proud of the competitiveness, dedication, and commitment displayed by the entire Spartan community!
Wise County Public Schools also congratulates Union High School, who ranked 11th (32.5 points), along with Central High School, who ranked 14th (20 points) in Class 2 standings.
