Our school nurses embody the Washington Local Schools' core values daily as they promote student health and wellness. They have a multi-faceted role within the school setting, one that supports the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of the students and their success in the learning process.
WLS' school nurses hold licenses with both the Ohio Board of Nursing and the Ohio Department of Education. All of our Nurses have earned at least a bachelor's degree, and many have graduate degrees as well.
