As our school division approaches summer break, let’s show appreciation to our incredible transportation mechanics! Our June Transportation Spotlight focuses on those individuals who keep our fleet moving!

The five mechanics pictured represent 77 years of combined service to WCPS. Their hard work and commitment help ensure buses are maintained regularly, operate safely, and are ready for students each day. Experience like that matters when it comes to student safety, reliability, and keeping routes running every day. The work is often behind the scenes, but those mechanics are a major reason students get to and from school safely.

Did you know that every single bus in Wise County Public Schools is washed completely, inside and out when school dismisses for the summer? That says a lot about the pride and effort behind Wise County Public Schools transportation operations. Keeping an entire fleet washed inside and out — on top of maintenance and repairs — takes a level of consistency most people never see.

Speaking of an expanding fleet…the Wise County Public School division has purchased:
✔ Additional activity vans were purchased to minimize transportation limitations at our middle schools and high schools
✔ Each high school will receive a second activity bus

Thank you to these individuals for the countless hours they put in behind the scenes to keep our schools moving safely and efficiently. Also, thank you to our school board for investing money that directly benefits students, and prioritizing student safety with the expansion of our fleet.

On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, the Wise County Public School division was honored with a certificate of appreciation during a ceremony celebrating the 10th Anniversary of DePaul Community Resources in Big Stone Gap, as well as the recent expansion of sponsored residential services into the Big Stone Gap area, and surrounding region.

School social workers Jennifer Fox and Lora Smith attended the event and accepted the certificate on behalf of the Wise County Public School division. The DePaul Community Resources Big Stone Gap office was established in 2016 to provide foster care services for youth in need of stability, support, and healing following experiences of abuse and neglect. Over the past year, DePaul served 97 children and teens in foster care, ensuring each received compassionate care and support within a family home environment.

Wise County Public Schools extends its sincere gratitude to DePaul Community Resources for this meaningful recognition, and for its continued dedication to serving children and families throughout the region.
