CES and Medart Pre-K Routes Update

This is a friendly reminder that our updated Crawfordville Elementary School bus routes will go into effect on Monday, December 1. As shared on the route sheets sent home with students, all CES AM and CES PM route times have been adjusted due to the merging of the Medart Pre-K route. All Medart Pre-K students will now ride the updated CES routes. All other routes remain the same.

Please take a moment to review the updated routes to confirm your child’s new pickup and drop-off times before we return from break. They can be found at https://www.wakullaschooldistrict.org/page/transportation

If you have any questions, please contact Transportation Coordinator Matt Payne at scott.payne@wcsb.us

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure all families are informed and prepared for this transition.

On Thursday, November 13, 2025, Wakulla County Schools was honored to host the Florida State Board of Education for its November meeting in our Historic District Auditorium.

The WHS NJROTC Color Guard — Cadets Brooklynn Green, Carter Smith, Jordan Roddenberry, and Kaylena Pontones, under the direction of Gunnery Sgt. Long — presented the colors, and Miss Wakulla, Abbigail Lawhon, beautifully performed the National Anthem.

Superintendent Rick Myhre provided an update on the state of Wakulla County Schools, emphasizing the resilience and legacy of excellence that define our students, staff, and community.

Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas recognized three Wakulla High School students — Hayden Moore, Kylie Moore, and William DeWitt — with the Commissioner’s Leadership Award for their efforts to strengthen civil discourse and encourage respectful, meaningful dialogue among their peers.

A special thank you to Posey’s Up the Creek for catering and helping us welcome our state leaders with true Wakulla hospitality.

It was a proud day for Wakulla County Schools as we showcased our students, our history, and the strength of our community.

This month, we celebrate our incredible Wakulla Special Olympics athletes and unified partners who recently competed in Flag Football and Pickleball at the Regional Games! Each athlete held fast to the Special Olympics oath —
“Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

Wakulla proudly supports Special Olympics programs year-round, including Pickleball, Flag Football, Bocce, Track and Field, and Bowling, with hopes to add Cornhole soon! These opportunities wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated coaches, volunteers, and unified partners who help make inclusion and sportsmanship thrive in our schools and community.

Through Unified Champion Schools, students across Wakulla learn, train, and grow together — showing that when we include, we all win. 💙
