• WPS Earns Common Sense Media District Recognition (thewinchestergazette.com) — Winchester Public Schools has earned district-wide recognition from Common Sense Media, highlighting a strong local commitment to digital literacy, online safety, and healthy tech use for students. All seven WPS schools met the criteria, integrating lessons on media literacy, AI, privacy, and digital well-being into everyday learning. Families can expect continued focus on helping students use technology thoughtfully and responsibly.
• What is the income of a household in Winchester city, VA? (usafacts.org) — Households in Winchester city have a median income of about $64,600 for 2019–2023, notably lower than both Virginia and U.S. averages.

• Second Cohort Joins Laurel Ridge's Future Educators Academy (thewinchestergazette.com) — Laurel Ridge Community College's Future Educators Academy in Middletown has welcomed a second cohort of high school students, including participants from nearby Sherando and Millbrook who may return to teach in Winchester-area schools.
