We would like to recognize Principal Forte and the WCJH Wildcats for hosting a successful 2026 Parent-Teacher Conference.

The UAPB Addiction Studies Department and Exodus.Life joined WCSD Prevention Recovery Program Coordinators Dr. Robin Stepps and Ms. Lavorges Canada to share important information with families about the dangers of vaping, opioids, and other substance abuse.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening informative and impactful for our students and families!

Watson Chapel School District acknowledges the recently released school and district letter grades and the responsibility that comes with these accountability measures.

While letter grades provide an important snapshot of performance, they represent only one measure of our district’s progress. They do not fully reflect the continued growth, commitment, and hard work of our students, educators, staff, families, and school community.

We remain focused on accountability, continuous improvement, and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
