Rent the Rock to show your school spirit or wish someone a "Happy Birthday!" The rock is located in front of the school on Betty Spencer. You can hire someone to paint it for you (WC can offer recommendations for individuals to hire, but this is an additional charge and not associated with the school) or paint it yourself. The rock is available on a first-come, first-served basis and rents for $10 per day (3pm-3pm). Click here to sign up to Rent the Rock
We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Emily Cook has been named the new Principal of Washington Center! Effective July 1st, Mrs. Cook will step into this leadership role.
Mrs. Cook is no stranger to our Washington Center family—she has served as our Program Facilitator for the past 6 years and has been an integral part of our community. We have full confidence that she will bring the same dedication, passion, and excellence to this position.
While we are grateful for the wonderful leadership of Mrs. Gentry and wish her all the best in her future endeavors, we know she is leaving us in excellent hands.
Congratulations, Mrs. Emily Cook! We can't wait to see the amazing things ahead for Washington Center under your leadership!
