Welcome to the Wayne High School Pre-engineering website.
We are a small rural school with big ideas!
Aegis Industrial is Wayne High's PLTW Simulated Workplace. The PLTW program is run like a business. Students take roles in the company to create a real world simulation of how business works. From a company structure to uniforms to random drug testing, the workplace immerses the student in the environment.
Absolute Zero is Wayne High School's robotics team. Team 3272 in both FTC and VRC, the team works hard and plays hard. Students design and build robots for competition while taking time to enlighten the community about the future of STEM in our schools and society.

PLTW’s success in preparing students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed has been recognized by colleges and universities, Fortune 500 businesses, and numerous national organizations including Change the Equation, the Social Impact Exchange, and more.
Wayne High School's robotics team has been competing since 2008. The team has competed in FIRST Tech Challenge, Vex Robotics Competition, and SkillsUSA. The team has been very successful over the years earning multiple awards, and earning trips to both the FIRST World Championship and the VEX Worlds. The West Virginia Department of Education has worked with committee experts from numerous businesses and industries throughout West Virginia to design Simulated Workplace. This new educational initiative has been created to assist schools in implementing workplace environmental protocols that align with West Virginia workforce requirements, including random drug testing, professionalism, attendance and safety. Simulated Workplace has not only enhanced instructional delivery of career education, but has created a more engaged career and technical student. The simulated workplace environment permits students the opportunity to take ownership of their individual performance as it impacts the overall success of their education, while thriving in an authentic workplace culture. Simulated Workplace also encourages local business and industry experts to join onsite review teams to assist schools in meeting their workforce needs and expectations. |
