The 2026–2027 Level 1 Volunteer Application is now open!
All volunteers must complete a new Level 1 application for each school year and attend annual volunteer orientation before serving. Orientation dates will be shared by each school after school begins, and options may vary by school. If you volunteer at multiple schools, you only need to complete orientation once.
Interested in becoming a Level 2 volunteer? Please complete the Level 1 application first. Level 2 clearance is required for certain roles, including volunteer coaches, resiliency coaches, overnight chaperones, and other higher-access volunteer opportunities.
New Level 2 fingerprinting is $80 for those not already in the Florida Clearinghouse system and supports our continued commitment to student safety.

This achievement belongs to our students, teachers, staff, families, and community.

Today’s work at FORGE 2026 centered on the principles that guide Wakulla County Schools every day.
These three principles are woven throughout our vision to empower students, families and communities to support student learning and growth, and our mission to cultivate opportunities for all students to become lifelong learners.
Rigor challenges us to aim higher.
Resiliency helps us persevere.
Relevance ensures learning connects to the world beyond the classroom.

Take a look around this photo.
These are the people helping shape the future of Wakulla County Schools.
Today, 85 teacher leaders, administrators and district leaders gathered for Day Two of FORGE 2026 to learn, collaborate and prepare for the year ahead.
Growth happens when great people come together with a shared purpose and a willingness to keep getting better. We are proud of the educators and leaders who continue investing in themselves so they can better serve our students, schools and community.
#WakullaCountySchools #FORGE2026 #RigorousResilientRelevant

Today marked the beginning of FORGE 2026: Forged through Purpose. Strengthened by Growth.
Day One centered on purpose — looking closely at where we are, where we are headed and how our work connects to student success across the district.
Leaders began the day with a review of the district’s 5-Year Strategic Plan and a Big Picture Data Review, using student achievement and operational data to guide meaningful conversations about the year ahead. This is the work that happens before students return.
FORGE is more than a workshop. It is the foundation for the year we are building together.
#WakullaCountySchools #FORGE2026 #RigorousResilientRelevant










Strong schools are built by dedicated people — teachers who lead with purpose, serve with heart, and help shape what comes next for students.
As Wakulla County Schools prepares for 2026–2027, we are building a stronger future in every sense of the word — in our classrooms, across our campuses, and throughout our community.
Come be part of the work.
