To the Parents, Students, and Staff of Preston High School: The door replacement and secure entry project work is now shifting to the front entrance of the Great Hall on Monday, March 18th. This will require the temporary relocation of the main office to the CTE office and cause a minor change in arrival procedures. Student drop off will now return to the back entrance of the Great Hall and buses will now drop off at the Fine Arts Entrance around the side of the building (across from the track). All cars should still go around the CTE wing of the building. Student pick-up at the end of the day will not be affected. Staff will not be able to park along the Fine Arts/Gym side of the building or the front of the CTE Loop. A reminder that you can park in spots 1-25 in the front of the building and you may also park where the Band bus was parking. No one should park in the handicapped spots behind the building (across from the Weight Room). This will begin on Monday, March 18th and remain in effect until further notice.

This includes the physical hive, a nuc of bees, bee suit, etc. The association also has a member who serves as the mentor for a year to work with the student to teach them how to care for bees.
The opportunity is open to youth in Preston County between the ages of 12 and 16. The recipient is selected from the application process and chosen by the association members.
The selection committee will meet in April. All applications are due to the Preston County Extension Office at 115 W Court Street, Kingwood, WV 26537, by April 15, 2024. Late applications will NOT be accepted.
