Waynesville R-VI fans showed their support for those who serve during Military Appreciation Night while also commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9-11 on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, at Waynesville High School’s Tiger Stadium.

Waynesville High School honored Patriot Day through learning, remembrance, unity, and service.
In their social studies classes, students reflected on the events of September 11, 2001, and the lasting impact they have had on our nation and the world. Our local fire department displayed the American flag, PE students participated in a memorial stair walk, and students contributed leaves to our Survivor Tree.
We also recognized our military community during Military Appreciation Night and collected baby items for military families through our “Stuff the Humvee” service project in partnership with the USO.
We remember those who lost their lives, honor the heroes who answered the call, and continue their legacy through service to others.
Good luck to our Lady Tigers as they take on Republic! Play hard, play together, and represent WHS with Tiger Pride!
