New Visions Engineering Program - NEW Program for the 2026-2027 School Year
GST BOCES is expanding their New Visions Engineering program to both the Coopers and Bush Campuses for Fall of 2026! This will be modeled after the successful New Visions Engineering program that was implemented this year at our Wildwood Campus. Please see the included information regarding the Wildwood New Visions Engineering program for your reference. Although the future program may vary a bit from this information, the goal is it to be as similar as possible.
Students should reach out to their Guidance Counselor if they are interested.

As many of you know, this school year marks my final year serving as Principal of Waverly High School. While I am excited to begin a new role within the district as the School Business Administrator, leaving this principal position is bittersweet. It has been an honor to serve the students, families, and staff in this role since 2015.
Beginning next school year, John Cheresnowsky will serve as High School Principal. I know he will do an outstanding job leading our school and supporting our students and families. Ernie Marilley will remain as the High School Assistant Principal, as well.
We wish Mrs. Jackie Picco the best, as she transitions into a Principal role at Elm Street Elementary!
Even though there are lots of changes, the faces are still the same, we're here to support our kids, and we're all still on the same TEAM! Go Wolverines!
On behalf of the entire Waverly High School staff, thank you for your support throughout the year. We wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming students back in September for another great year.
Warm regards,
Ashlee Hunt
The skies should clear and we will be outside!

June 2026
Dear Parents/Caregivers/Guardians,
In New York state, all schools are required to conduct eight evacuation drills (fire drills), four lockdown drills, and one early-release drill each school year. Also, six of the evacuation drills and two of the lockdown drills must be done before Dec. 31 each school year.
All schools in New York state must conduct their safety drills in a “trauma-informed manner.” That means that our drills, such as fire or lockdown drills, need to avoid tactics that make it seem like an emergency, school shooting, or an act of violence is actually happening. This means we will never use props, actors, or simulations during our safety drills. The goal of our safety drills is to prepare, not scare our students, therefore, we will do the following:
• Parental Notification: A notice will be sent out within one week before any safety drill is conducted (at least one day and no more than seven days before the drill). This notification will not include the exact date and time of the safety drill.
• Drill Announcements: All drills (except for evacuation drills/fire drills) will be announced as drills. For example, a lockdown drill may be announced as “This is a drill. Lockdown, Lockdown, Lockdown. This is a drill.”
Safety drills help to keep our schools safe by letting us practice what to do should there be an emergency. Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do and talk about how the drill will be announced.
To remain in compliance, we will be conducting evacuation drills at the Middle/High School campus within one week of this message.
Please reach out to your building principal with any questions or concerns.
