The arts have a place in every child’s education.
Across Wakulla County Schools, students are creating, performing, discovering new talents and finding new ways to express themselves through the arts. And this year, those opportunities are reaching even more students, with full-time art and music now available at every WCS elementary school.
From a first experience with a paintbrush or instrument to the stage, studio or marching field, arts education gives students opportunities to build confidence, develop discipline, collaborate with others and discover where their talents can take them.
During National Arts in Education Week, we will offer moments of celebration for the student artists, musicians and performers who bring the arts to life across Wakulla County Schools—and for the educators who encourage their creativity and help them find their voice.

As our War Eagles football team travels to Pace tonight, we invite our community to tune in to Wave 94.1 during halftime for a special Wakulla County Schools Halftime Report from Superintendent Rick Myhre.
On the 25th anniversary of September 11, Superintendent Myhre shares a personal reflection on how that day changed the course of his life and led him to military service. His message connects remembrance with responsibility—and reflects on what it means for each of us to serve, lead and prepare the next generation.
Tune in to Wave 94.1 during halftime of Wakulla vs. Pace tonight.

Wakulla County Schools is reminding families that students may request approval to use private transportation for athletic events, extracurricular activities, field trips and other school-sponsored events.
The required Parental Consent and Release of Liability for Private Transportation form must be completed, submitted to school administration at least 24 hours before the event, and approved by the school principal.
Requests involving a student driving themselves or riding with another adult require notarization.
A written note or sign-out sheet alone does not meet current policy requirements.
View and complete the required form here: https://aptg.co/YMxLNj

Last Friday, our Wakulla County Schools Food Services team treated the War Eagle Football team to a special meal — complete with spaghetti, fresh salad and some seriously good-looking garlic rolls!
Our Food Services staff do so much more than prepare meals each school day. They are always finding ways to support our students, schools and programs, and this is just one more example of the care they bring to everything they do.
Thank you to our Food Services team for feeding our War Eagles and being such an important part of the WCS family!





Yesterday morning, Wakulla County Schools welcomed Florida Department of Education Senior Vice Chancellor Paul Burns and Executive Director of the Office of Safe Schools Tim Hay, who joined Superintendent Rick Myhre at Shadeville Elementary School and Riversprings Middle School to help kick off the first day of school.
From greeting students as they arrived to opening car doors and welcoming families, our guests jumped right into the excitement of the first morning alongside our school teams.
We appreciate Mr. Burns and Mr. Hay taking the time to visit Wakulla County and share in a day that means so much to our students, families, faculty, and staff.
There’s no better way to begin a new school year than together. Welcome back, Wakulla!





“Wakulla County Schools would like to give a huge shout-out and thank you to our bus drivers and van drivers for an amazing first day of school!
We recognize that every successful school district relies on a high-functioning transportation department, and ours is among the best.
While today’s routes were a little longer, and some buses were more crowded than others, we would like to celebrate that no bus left campus over capacity and all students arrived home safely.
In the coming days and weeks, our outstanding leadership team will work to balance routes to maximize efficiency, so please be aware of the potential for change to your student’s schedule so we can get more students to and from school quicker and safer.”
— Rick Myhre, Superintendent

Here’s to a great start to the 2026–2027 school year. We’re excited to welcome our students, families, faculty, and staff back for another year of learning, growing, and building something great together.
Let’s make it a great year, Wakulla! ❤️💙

Please remember that the first day will follow an early-release schedule. Dismissal times for each school are included in the graphic.
As students, families, staff, and transportation teams settle into new routines, we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during arrival and dismissal.
We are looking forward to a joyful, safe, and strong start to the 2026–2027 school year. ❤️💙
