Dear Washington High School Community,

It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I welcome you to a new academic year at Washington High School. As Principal, I am committed to advancing our mission of academic excellence and post-secondary readiness for every student who walks through our doors.

At Washington High School, we believe that education is a shared responsibility. Research consistently shows that when schools and families work in partnerships, student achievement improves. That’s why we are dedicated to fostering strong home-school connections through ongoing communication, meaningful parent engagement, and collaborative problem-solving. Your involvement, whether through academic support at home, participation in parent-teacher conferences, or engagement in school events, makes a measurable difference in the educational outcomes of your child. Our staff remains focused on delivering rigorous, standards-based instruction, implementing data-informed practices, and providing interventions that support the whole child.

As we move forward, I encourage families to maintain open lines of communication with teachers, counselors, and administrators. Together, we can create an inclusive, supportive environment where every student is equipped to thrive academically and socially.

Thank you for your continued trust, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. I am excited about what we will accomplish together.

In partnership,

Dr. Roylin Petties III

Principal

Washington High School
