Students in Waynesboro are back to hitting the books Wednesday. Waynesboro High School got back into gear as anxious students and teachers chatted outside before heading into class.

They are starting the year with new staff including a new principal and two new assistant principals.

Teachers involved in the Earth Science program are especially excited about the new school year, as they anticipate using new weather center software.

Earth Science teacher Erin Widener says, "We just got a new weather station we are excited about. Going to use it in our classroom. Hopefully we will integrate some more math and graphing, which I know the kids will love. With more technology, new principals. We are really excited about all the changes."
