Wayne Highlands School District (WHSD) is a rural public school district based in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and serving central and northeastern Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States. Organized on July 1, 1970, the district operates, preschools, four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.
The District is comprised of three boroughs and eleven townships: Honesdale, Prompton, and Bethany Boroughs; and Berlin, Buckingham, Dyberry, Damascus, Cherry Ridge, Lebanon, Manchester, Oregon, Preston, Scott, and Texas I and Texas II Townships.
While the mission of all Pennsylvania public schools is defined by a series of regulations, the Wayne Highlands School District has traditionally required a standard for its graduates well beyond those of the state. Consequently, the faculty and administration adopted a District Mission Statement and Goals that reflect these ideals. These ideals are based on a foundation of excellence in teaching, scholarship, school citizenship and service. They also focus on the demands that will be placed on our students as they enter the next century. With these things in mind, the mission of the Wayne Highlands School District is to promote a school-community alliance dedicated to:
Dynamic and Flexible Education Processes
Success for All Students
Interdependent Lifelong Learning
Respect for Oneself and Society
In short, our mission supported by teaching excellence, remains and will remain a focal point of the daily operation and strategic planning for our District's future.
