A new initiative, Rising to Learn, has been launched to create a more inclusive and informed educational environment for Washington County Public School (WCPS) students. The organization, which went live today with the launch of its website, risingtolearn.com, aims to serve as a central hub for information and engagement regarding the Washington County Board of Education and WCPS. The platform offers detailed reports on school board meetings, explanations of policies and decisions, and direct access to resources for parents, students, and educators.

Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Rising to Learn is focused on fostering open dialogue and gathering feedback from community members to ensure transparency and collaboration in shaping the future of education in Washington County. By providing clear and accessible information, the initiative seeks to increase public understanding of the work being done by the Board of Education and empower families to actively participate in the decision-making process. The platform encourages ongoing communication and engagement through its website, Facebook page, and regular newsletters.
In addition to its launch, Rising to Learn has applied for nonprofit status and is awaiting approval. Once approved, this status will allow the initiative to expand its efforts and enhance its impact within the community. Becoming a nonprofit will provide greater opportunities for funding and outreach, ensuring that more families and educators can benefit from the resources and support provided by the organization.
