Please contact the Guidance Office if you would like more information!

✨ A special night at Holston High School!
This evening, our Cavaliers had the honor of welcoming and recognizing several distinguished guests whose support makes a tremendous difference for our students and schools.
We are grateful to Delegate Israel O’Quinn, Senator Todd Pillion, School Board Chair Debbie Anderson, Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Mike Rush, County Administrator Jason Berry, Commonwealth’s Attorney Josh Cumbow, Sheriff Blake Andis, Commissioner of the Revenue April Crabtree, and Damascus Mayor Katie Lamb for their continued advocacy and partnership. Because of their support, Holston has seen exciting improvements — including a renovated field house, new band instruments, a safety vestibule and enhanced front entrance — with plans underway to replace auditorium seating. Each of these projects helps create a safer, stronger, and more engaging school environment for our Cavaliers.
We were also thrilled to welcome two very special guests to tonight’s game — former Virginia Governor George Allen and former Washington Redskins linebacker Ken Harvey. Mr. Harvey joined us to help highlight an important cause: the Coaches versus Overdoses initiative, in partnership with the Virginia Attorney General and the Commonwealth Football Coaches Association. This effort raises awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit drugs and reminds us that working together can save lives.
Ken Harvey also joined our Cavaliers at midfield to assist with the coin toss — a powerful moment to kick off the game and this life-saving message: Just One Pill Can Kill.
Thank you to these leaders and advocates for their commitment to Washington County students, families, and communities.
We’ll have a few very special guests joining us at tonight’s Holston High School football game: Former Virginia Governor George Allen and former Washington Commanders linebacker Ken Harvey! Mr. Harvey will even help with the coin toss to kick off the night.
He’s also here to spotlight the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative – a partnership with the Virginia Attorney General’s Office that raises awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit drugs. This powerful effort equips schools, families, and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent tragedies and save lives.
At WCPS, we’re proud to bring this message to the field – because protecting our students and community matters more than anything.
