🎉 Celebrating Excellence in Education
Washington County Public Schools is proud to recognize Lisa Fore, Spanish teacher at Abingdon High School, for being named the David Cox Virginia K–12 World Language Teacher of the Year by the Foreign Language Association of Virginia (FLAVA)!
Ms. Fore was honored at the FLAVA annual conference in October for her outstanding contributions to world language education --- and tonight, we’re thrilled to celebrate her accomplishments here at home.

A Grand Slam for Abingdon High School!
This afternoon, we officially cut the ribbon on the brand-new tennis courts at Abingdon High School!
These courts are extra special because they grew out of student input — our students shared their vision, and today, it became reality.
A huge thank-you to the Washington County School Board, Washington County Board of Supervisors, Abingdon Town Council, state leaders, Bakers Construction, and Baseline Sports for making this dream a reality.
What an exciting investment in our athletic programs and in the future of our students!

While meals remain free, the price of "extras" has changed! Please take note of a la carte prices should your student want to add on to their lunches.
📢 As part of the ongoing Sanitary Sewer Project on East Valley Street and Walden Road, the Town of Abingdon has announced that the intersection of Boone Street and Walden Road will now be closed, with the exception of local traffic only.
This change may impact the car rider line at E.B. Stanley Middle School, and those wishing to go back through town using Boone Street. This portion of the project is expected to last two to three weeks.
Please plan for extra time during drop-off and pick-up, and continue to use patience as these necessary improvements to Abingdon’s infrastructure move forward.
