Dear Craig County Community,
As we begin evaluating our current high school schedule and planning for next year, Craig County Public Schools (CCPS) is gathering input from our entire school community (teachers/staff, students, parents/guardians, community members, etc.). Your feedback is essential as we work to ensure that our schedule supports strong instructional practices, smooth course sequencing for students, and a positive experience for all stakeholders.
The purpose of this survey is to better understand what is working well with our current model and where improvements may be needed. As we plan for next year, we want to make sure that any changes or adjustments to the schedule are informed by the perspectives of our entire school community.
The information collected will be used to guide future discussions, identify priorities, and support thoughtful, student-centered decision making. No final decisions have been made, and the survey is simply the first step in this process. Your input will help us determine how we can strengthen instruction, support student success, and create a schedule that reflects the needs of our entire school community.
We invite all stakeholders of CCPS to complete the Craig County High School Scheduling Survey. Feel free to share this survey with others in our school community. The survey will remain open until December 19, 2025.

Shout out to Karen Jones for her leadership in coordinating the MES Veterans Day activities. She guided students in creating and sending heartfelt cards to many of our local veterans and secured enough funding from private donors to provide a free meal for every veteran who attended our Veterans Day lunch. As we honor our veterans and express our gratitude for their bravery and sacrifice, we also want to recognize Mrs. Jones’s dedication in ensuring they feel truly appreciated for all they have done for our country.
Thank you, Mrs. Jones! We appreciate YOU!
Thank you, Mrs. Jones! We appreciate YOU!
Good Afternoon,
This is Jason Wheeler, Superintendent of Craig County Public Schools, with a few important announcements regarding tonight's football game.
First, the ticket prices for playoff games are set by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) and are $8 per person. Additionally, only VHSL-approved passes are allowed for playoff games which means that staff, student, and local athletic passes cannot be used for admission into tonight’s game.
Secondly, parking may be limited due to the larger-than-usual crowd expected for the game. Therefore, we encourage all families and friends to carpool when possible and to allow for extra time to purchase your tickets. For safety reasons, please do not park along the roadside. If extra parking is needed, the grass lot beside the elementary school playground will be available as overflow parking, with signs clearly posted to mark the entrance.
Finally, we want to thank everyone for their continued support of Craig County Public Schools and we look forward to seeing you at tonight’s game.

Good Evening,
This is Jason Wheeler, Superintendent of Craig County Public Schools, with two important announcements.
First, I’m pleased to share that the plumbing issues have been resolved, and school will reopen on a normal schedule tomorrow. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during this unexpected closure, and we look forward to welcoming our students back to school tomorrow.
Second, I’d like to personally invite all stakeholders to attend the Community Cut Score Meeting on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 7:00 PM in the Craig County High School Auditorium. This is a significant statewide change that will affect all students, and your participation is important. During the meeting, I’ll share data projections from Craig County Public Schools, neighboring divisions, and the state, as well as outline the steps we are taking to support the continued success of every student.
If you’re unable to attend, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.
Thank you.
