Watkins Glen Central School District

The WGHS Virtual Parent Academy scheduled for tonight has been postponed. Once the date is rescheduled, there will be new communication. Thank you for your understanding.

SRP Recognition Day is the 3rd Tuesday of November and is a time to show the superheroes among us our thanks and appreciation. SRPs include teaching assistants, teacher aides, clerical workers, nurses, SROs, counselors, special services workers, mental health workers, cafeteria workers, custodians, bus drivers, and maintenance workers. They educate students, feed and transport students, monitor students’ health, administer school offices, maintain school facilities, and provide security. Without them, our schools would not run as smoothly as they do. Because of SRP’s, we can give our students the help and support they need.

Parents & Students Open Market Night at the Dub-G market. Stop in from 3-6pm on Wednesday!

Congrats to the Lake Hawks on their 1st competition in the GST Drone Soccer League! Match 1 vs. STEM: Lost 2 sets, won the 3rd with 9 goals from our Striker! Match 2 vs. Odessa Montour: Swept all sets! Proud of our team's resilience and teamwork! #WGProud
