Welcome to George Wythe High School. Thank you for visiting our website where you can learn more about our school community. Our mascot, the bulldog, is venerated as a breed for their ability to stay the course despite adversity. Hence the phrase “tenacity of a bulldog”. Here we embody this tenacity through our willingness to stay on the path to success. This resilience is fortified through collaboration. Parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and community members work in concert to support students as we clear a pathway to their productive post-secondary endeavors. As we return to in person instruction it is imperative that we embrace each other in route to securing the school wide vision.
As your principal, I am committed to “leading Wythe love”. This philosophy is informed by three aims, 1) to provide for the needs of the whole student, 2) to ensure rigorous instruction is delivered in every classroom every day, and 3) to ensure equity.
We envision a school that provides each student with challenging opportunities in a culture where creativity, respect, and authentic enthusiasm for learning exist. One where all strive to be responsible, motivated citizens of strong character, one that embraces a strong partnership with our diverse communities, and one that promotes a passionate commitment to BULLDOG PRIDE.
Our skilled and devoted staff are committed to making a difference. They want to have a positive impact on your child and above all, they want to provide them with an engaging and joyful learning experience that supports them in becoming independent learners. Our teachers are always working to get better at what they do through personal self-development and participation in a wide variety of professional development activities. They model life-long learning for our students and never settle for anything less than their best! Thank you to our incredible staff for their amazing professionalism and incredible energy and their commitment to our students.
Great schools always come back to the relationship between the child and the teacher. Be sure and find ways to engage yourself in school life – your child will notice and respond. There are numerous opportunities for parental involvement. Together, we can make a positive difference. A strong partnership between home and school fosters greater success for our children. Families, teachers, support staff, community members, and administration all play a part in helping our students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. May we all be present for the joy of learning, the satisfaction of a job well done, and the comfort that comes from belonging to a community.
To my students, staff, families, and community; I am so honored to be your servant leader. Thank you for the opportunity to work with such an amazing school community. I encourage you to stop in or call me to share ideas, concerns, or questions. I wish your family, and especially your student(s), great success this school year.
If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hi, please feel free to contact me via email at rparker2@rvaschools.net or by phone 804-780-5037.

Standards of Learning (SOL) Assessments are approaching and we want families to understand their options when it comes to testing. To review options and let us know of your intentions for the Spring SOL assessments, please complete the survey at www.rvaschools.net/sol.
While most RPS students are receiving virtual instruction, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and the United States Education Department (USED) require some tests for students in grades 3 to 12 to be administered in-person.
To reduce the risk to both staff and students, we have implemented robust health and safety protocols. However, we understand that some families may not yet be comfortable sending students to schools to test.
Please complete this brief intent form by April 16, 2021.Si bien la mayoría de los estudiantes de RPS están recibiendo instrucción virtual, el Departamento de Educación de Virginia (VDOE) y el Departamento de Educación de los Estados Unidos (USED) requieren que algunos exámenes para los estudiantes que atienden los grados 3 a 12 se administren en persona.
Para reducir el riesgo tanto para el personal como para los estudiantes, hemos implementado protocolos sólidos de salud y seguridad. Sin embargo, entendemos que es posible que algunas familias aún no se sientan cómodas enviando estudiantes a las escuelas para que examinen.
Complete este breve formulario de intención antes del 16 de abril de 2021. -

RPS Direct Update - September 17, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, Happy Friday! Tonight's updates: Mask Reminders – Parents and caregivers, please be sure students have their masks on when approaching and boarding the school bus. This helps ensure a safe and speedy boarding process. Please also make sure to send your students with a mask that fits their face. Adult size masks are not appropriate for small children, as they do not fit tightly (see CDC graphic below). If you need pediatric masks, your school can provide them. Thank you for helping keep RPS safe! COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate – RPS employees, please be reminded that you have until October 1 to submit full proof of vaccination or obtain a religious/medical exemption. Though I pray it doesn't come to this, please understand that any employee who does not meet the requirements of the mandate will face progressive discipline, including loss of employment.

RPS Direct Update - September 15, 2021
Dear #RPSStrong Family, While we've been overjoyed to return to school despite COVID, we've also been heartbroken by another pandemic that plagues our community – gun violence. I'm devastated to share that, in the past 48 hours, five RPS students have been shot. We've also lost two students to other causes (unrelated to gun violence or COVID). These tragic events remind us of the grief and trauma that so many RPS students, families, and staff face daily. The RPS family is hurting tonight. Let us all pause this evening to check on one another, support one another, and extend grace and love to one another.
