Wakulla County School District

In a world full of choices, this one matters most.

Wakulla County Schools is more than a district—it’s a community where students are seen, supported, and inspired.

From Pre-K to graduation, we build more than futures—we build belonging.

Wakulla County Schools - Relevance. Resilience. Rigor.

#WakullaCountySchools #BackToSchool2025 #TraditionOfExcellence #RelevanceResilienceRigor 

This morning’s Back-to-School Faculty & Staff Pep Rally was one for the books!

Teachers and staff from every corner of Wakulla County Schools packed the Wakulla High School gym to kick off the 2025–2026 school year with school spirit and pride. It was the first district-wide Welcome Back Pep Rally under Superintendent Rick Myhre, and the energy was undeniable.

From the moment they arrived, attendees were greeted by the powerful sounds of the Wakulla High School Marching Band, the WHS Color Guard, and cheerleaders from Riversprings Middle, Wakulla Middle, and Wakulla High—creating a high-energy welcome that set the tone for the year ahead.

🎤 Powerful words were shared by District Employee of the Year Sean Simmons, followed by Colleen Maley, 2025 District Teacher of the Year, who set the gym—and Superintendent Myhre—on fire with her inspiring message.

This is just the beginning—big things are ahead for Wakulla County Schools in 2025–2026!

🚌 Thank You for Your Patience, Wakulla Families!

We know some families are having trouble accessing the form — and we want to help!

✅ You’re not listed as the Primary Guardian (#1 contact) in the FOCUS PARENT PORTAL.
Here are steps to update the guardian priority in your FOCUS PARENT PORTAL >> https://5il.co/3mh2a

✅ Your parent account isn’t linked to your existing/registered student.
Here are the steps to add your child(ren) to your FOCUS PARENT PORTAL>>https://5il.co/3mh2c
