Whitt

Waynesville High School Principal

Welcome to Waynesville High School, home of the Tigers! Thank you for taking the time to be an active part of your student's educational journey. My name is Jason Whitt and I am the proud principal of Waynesville High School.   

My wife, Sheri, and I have been married since August of 2000. Sheri and I are the proud parents of our daughter Eastyn and  we have three dogs. We are avid sports fans, enjoy the outdoors and travel. We love watching our WHS Tigers, college football, college basketball and the Kansas City Chiefs. I look forward to getting to know the families within our community and helping partner with you on this education journey. There are many ways that you can invest in your children's lives, but the most important thing you can give your child is your time.

Together we can prepare them for a future that is dreamt of and unknown. 

Sincerely,

Jason Whitt
