Support Your Local Community

-Now Open Kids craft studio Rose’s Inspiration Station is now open inside of the Piedmont Place.

-Raising Our Voice An online petition is circulating to tell the Board of Supervisors to deny the Montclair rezoning until Crozet has the basic infrastructure it has been promised.

-Environmental Matters Neighbors in Orchard Acres are urgently working to protect both a stream and a surrounding wetland in their community.  Due to a well-known loophole in the County’s water protection ordinance, a portion of the wetland has already been cleared of trees and a section of the stream has been piped (see arrow) to prepare the land for residential development.  The public will have an opportunity to speak directly to the Board of Supervisors at their February 21st meeting.

  • The boys (16-4) continued their winning ways, keeping their 5 game win streak alive, with convincing performances over Orange and Charlottesville

  • The Lady Warriors (13-6) split games since our last publishing, beating Orange handily, then dropping a close one to the Black Knights of Charlottesville 

Warrior Wrestling

  • WAHS Wrestling delivered the goods at the Region Tournament on February 3rd. Owen Townsend won his weight class (215), Cole McGuinty finished 2nd (175), and Parker Voorhees took home 4th (285) - and it's onto States!

Warrior Track & Field

  • The Lady Warriors showed out in a big way in Lynchburg, taking 5th out of 120 teams at the Bulldog Invitational. 

  • The Pole Vaulters placed 4 in the top 5, with Raina Fitzwater winning the event

  • Speedy sophomore, Carter Torrence, placed 2nd out of 173 competitors in the 500-meter - way to go, Carter!
