The mission of Wayne County High School is molded by the belief that our students should become responsible contributors to society. To that end, we at Wayne County High School dedicate ourselves to providing our students with opportunities to think clearly, to write and speak effectively, to have knowledge of the past and vision of the future, and to learn skills for useful service in our community. Our mission is the development of the whole child for participation in and contribution to a life in a changing democratic and global society in which all individuals share responsibility and mutual respect.
