Curriculum:
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in an on-going process of curriculum revision, staff development and high achievement. It is important to acknowledge the District's commitment to education for all students. It follows then that the District provides an exemplary Special Education Curriculum for our special needs and gifted students..
Faculty:
The Wayne Highlands School District employs 230 professional faculty and 110 non-professional support staff members. The faculty-student ratio is approximately 1:22. While the academic accomplishments of the faculty are exemplary, even more noteworthy is their sincere care for the welfare of all our students. This fact is demonstrated by the numerous athletic, service, musical, artistic and extracurricular activities that are run by faculty advisors. The esprit de coups fostered through these activities, linked with a cooperative approach to problem solving, has created an enviable working and learning environment.
