From first-day butterflies to graduation caps, the journey has come full circle. In what has become one of our favorite traditions, members of the Washburn Rural High School Class of 2026 returned to their elementary schools this week, walking the same halls where their stories first began.
Congratulations, graduates! Your future is bright, and we can't wait to see all the amazing places life will take you. No matter where your path leads, know that your Auburn-Washburn family will be cheering you on every step of the way!
Three members of the WRHS Class of 2026 have earned appointments to prestigious U.S. service academies. We could not be more proud. 🇺🇸

As the first WRN school year comes to a close, we want to thank all of our students, staff, and families for a wonderful year! It has been incredible to watch our students learn, grow, and make lasting memories throughout the year. Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer break! ☀️🎉
Today 80 8th grade band, choir, and orchestra students and 15 adults left WRMS for St. Louis at 1:00 AM. In the morning, we performed two selections for judges at Northwest High School in Cedar Hill, MO. Ensembles from over 20 schools from Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Illinois also competed. After our performances, we all headed to Six Flags where we spent the rest of the day relaxing and having fun on the rides. During the awards ceremony, the ensembles received the following:
Band - Excellent - 5th Place
Choir - Excellent - 4th Place
Orchestra - Excellent - 1st Place - Overall Top Middle Level Orchestra
We are incredibly proud of how our students performed and behaved. WRN was there performing and competing as welI, and we were able to enjoy spending time together in the park. It was a fantastic way for the two schools to bring our students together again before they unify at WRHS in the fall
Congratulations to our amazing 8th graders on their promotion today! We are so proud of all your hard work, growth, and accomplishments this year. A special shoutout to Ashlynn Chooncharoen and Kain Reilly for winning the KSHAA Citizenship Award!
Wishing you all the very best as you begin your high school journey - once a Raven, always a Raven! 🎉🖤
