🎨🎶📚 National Arts in Education Week 🎭✨
This week, we celebrate the teachers who inspire, the students who create, and the community that supports the arts in our schools. Together, we know the arts matter—because they shape well-rounded learners and future leaders.

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.
