Wayne Price

Mr. Price brings a wealth of experience, passion for education, and a student-centered leadership style that will continue to elevate the tradition of excellence at Virginia High School.  He comes to us most recently from serving as Principal of Orange County High School in Orange, Virginia.

With a proven record of collaborative leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to student achievement, he has earned recognition among peers, staff, and families alike. Mr. Price is joined in this new chapter by his wife of 32 years, Melissa, and they are excited to relocate to the region to be closer to their extended family in Ashe County, North Carolina.

“I am honored to join the Bearcat family,” said Mr. Price. “Virginia High School has a strong reputation for academic success, school pride, and community support. I look forward to meeting and working with the dedicated staff, students, parents, and community members who make this school so special.”
