On October 22, students from Damascus Middle School were one of the first two groups of students in our region to experience the new Career Commons in Abingdon. Students were able to engage in hand-on activities throughout the innovative experience to gain a better sense of skills and knowledge needed in a variety of occupations. Through the engaging event, students were able to acquire a better understanding of future vocational paths available to them in our area and beyond. In a show of continuing support to the Damascus community, the staff at EO were kind enough to also give all DMS students an “Appalachian Strong” t-shirt which was designed specifically to raise funds for flood relief.

Promise Program: Today was a proud moment for Washington County Public Schools! We witnessed something truly special as our community gathered at Virginia Highlands Community College to celebrate the launch of the Washington County Promise Program. This commitment by Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia and VHCC marks a major step forward in providing a brighter future for our students.
Thanks to this incredible program, students who live in Washington County, VA, can
now pursue higher education with free tuition, breaking down financial barriers and
opening doors to countless opportunities. We’re beyond excited to see the impact this
will have on our students, their families, and our community as a whole.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us today - from students and faculty to
community leaders and partners. Your support means everything as we work together
to enrich the lives of our young people.
Head over to
https://promiseprogram.org/ and discover how this opportunity can benefit your student!
