Helping students with prepare for college
Wayne High School, along with all 24 high schools in Montgomery County, focused on the college application process during the month of November as part of the Learn to Earn Dayton initiative. Events included daily college tip/fact of the day read during announcements, opportunities for students to complete college, tech school, and military applications with staff assistance, question/answer sessions during lunch periods, and college spirit days. The Dayton Metro Library staff partnered with Wayne to share the library’s new program for career/college preparation. Seventy-three percent of Wayne graduates enroll in college.
Preschool Literacy Event held Dec. 3
The Huber Heights Early Readiness Coalition held a free Preschool Literacy Event on Thursday, Dec. 3 at Wayne High School for families of children up to 5 years old. Coalition sponsors and volunteers set up literacy activities to model ways parents can support reading readiness at home for pre-kindergarten children. A book was given to each child. Prizes for attendees included book bags, books, school supplies and gift cards. A book fair was also held for parents to purchase books for the holidays.
The Huber Heights Early Readiness Coalition’s mission is to support parents and preschool providers to ensure preschool children are fully prepared to be successful in kindergarten. The coalition will be hosting a Preschool Extravaganza on April 21, 2016.

Superintendent congratulates Wayne football team
I know I speak for many in our community when I say how proud I am of our Wayne Warrior football team. I am also very appreciative of the support shown to our football team. Parents and families, Wayne High School staff members, Cheerleaders, band members, and Warriorettes, coaches, directors, and advisors. You sacrifice your own to time to help our students grow and learn. Your efforts bring out the best in our students both on and off the field. Thank you to the many businesses and community organizations that took the time to offer our football team "Good Luck" in the championship game. Your support and encouragement is something our school district and the Wayne Warriors will never forget! I expect great things from the young men on this team as they move forward with the rest of their lives. - Susan Gunnell, superintendent, Huber Heights City Schools
