Located one block off the main street of Charles Town, West Virginia, Wright Denny Intermediate School serves approximately 400 students in grades three through five. Our building has been a community institution since 1929, serving as a high school, a junior high school, and an elementary school.  Following major renovations in 1993, our facilities include a separate gymnasium, media center, computer lab, music room, art room, cafeteria, and a beautiful 475-seat auditorium in addition to twenty-five classrooms.

Our gracious, Greek-columned building is not only a historical landmark, but also a center of activity that we are proud to share with the community.

Under the leadership of principal Chris Walter, Wright Denny has a faculty of 22 regular and special education teachers, three instructional aides, and full time art, media, physical education, and music teachers.  The school is also served by a counselor, a speech pathologist, a psychologist, a nurse, and a band instructor.

The majority of Wright Denny's teachers have worked together for a number of years and offer a warm welcome to new staff members, thus forming a closely knit faculty who have comfortable professional relationships.  This creates a mix of experience and renewal and enables the staff to undertake group projects and decision-making with a high degree of efficiency.

Remembering Wright Denny’s history, our staff deals confidently with present challenges, and looks forward to the future.
