Wallace Middle School

Promise Program: Our friends with the Promise Program have been visiting middle schools, sharing the amazing news about the Washington County Promise Program! Our students are beginning to think about their futures, and we're excited to show them how this commitment can help make their college dreams a reality -- with free tuition. These visits were all about getting our middle schoolers thinking ahead and understanding that opportunities are within reach. By preparing now, they can set themselves up for a successful future with the help of this incredible program. We loved seeing the excitement and curiosity from our middle schoolers as they learned how the Washington County Promise Program can help them succeed. Visit https://promiseprogram.org/ to see if your student is eligible to take advantage of this amazing commitment by Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia and Virginia Highlands Community College. #WashingtonCountySchools #VHCCPromise #MiddleSchoolFuture #BuildingBrightFutures #FreeTuition #StudentOpportunities
