We were happy to welcome back Mountain State Centers for Independent Living to our school this year to speak with our students about becoming ADA advocates.
Ronda Shockley shared an important message about including all students, standing up for others, and how young people can make a real difference in their communities. She also helped students better understand the history and impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act and discussed how the law continues to evolve and shape accessibility and equity today.
We appreciate the opportunity for our students to learn how advocacy, empathy, and awareness can help create a more inclusive world for everyone. ♿💙

Tomorrow is Golden Horseshoe Test Day for our 8th grade students!
The West Virginia Golden Horseshoe Test is a statewide exam that measures students’ knowledge of West Virginia history, and it’s an exciting opportunity for them to demonstrate what they’ve learned this year.
We ask that all 8th grade students arrive on time, well-rested, and ready to do their best, as testing will begin right after breakfast.
Students who score at the top across the state earn the prestigious title of “Knight or Lady of the Golden Horseshoe,” one of the highest academic honors for middle school students in West Virginia.
Let’s wish our 8th graders the best of luck tomorrow — we’re proud of the hard work they’ve put in!

Experiences like this help inspire the next generation of leaders, and we are so proud of these students for representing our school!
