A memorable moment for George Wythe High School senior Coy Francis and the Maroons football team!
Some moments go far beyond the scoreboard, and this is certainly one of them. We are incredibly proud of Coy, his teammates, and everyone who helped make this a memory that will last far beyond Friday night!

WCPS would like to express a huge THANK YOU to Wythe County Sheriff's Office for your continued support for our students and staff!
"Today Sheriff Cline and members of the Wythe County Sheriff’s Office were able to honor a very special group of people, elementary school teachers, by doing their lunch duty at Max Meadows Elementary School.
After spending a couple of hours with these bundles of energy who had lots of questions and opening many milk cartons and string cheeses we collectively decided we would all stay in the law enforcement profession.
Also a huge thank you to the cafeteria and custodial staff who operated seamlessly as we struggled with the string cheese packages.
Thank you to the Max Meadows PTO for the invite and thank you to all our teachers and school staff." - Wythe County Sheriff's Office
