🎓🍽️ Washington County Schools district and board staff were honored to host the annual Senior Meal celebrating the WCHS Class of 2026!

This special tradition gives us an opportunity to recognize our seniors, reflect on their accomplishments, and wish them success as they prepare to begin their next chapter. We are proud of all they have achieved and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Class of 2026. ❤️💙💛

Each table also included bags of cookies featuring hand-drawn artwork on the labels created by kindergarten students from WCES and NWES — a sweet reminder of how far these students have come on their educational journey. ✏️🍪

A special thank you to Lebanon Meat Market for catering the meal and helping make the event so enjoyable for our seniors!
