There’s only one way to describe it – organized chaos.

Like a busy ant colony or beehive, students, faculty and staff swarmed in and out of classrooms, hallways and busses as they packed up furniture, books and other school property on Dec. 17 and began the processes of moving to the new high school.

Despite the less than perfect weather, students appeared to be happy-go-lucky as thy packed up their old school, and several told The Sun they’re glad the day has finally come.

Test scores did not reflect the improvement that the local district had hoped to see last year, and prior to last week’s board meeting, officials discussed what has been done this year to get back on track.

Washington County High School principal Thad Elmore said WCHS has put an increased focus on math and reading to make sure the lesson plans coincide with the requirements for the end-of-year PLAN test.
