Preston County Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for tomorrow, Friday, January 17th. Maintenance, mechanics, & custodians report on a regular schedule, & all other students & staff will report on a 2-hour delay. The Pre-K & Kindergarten pre-registation will proceed from 10 AM to 2 PM.
Preston County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 16th. Maintenance, Mechanics, and 240+ custodians report on schedule. All additional 240-day+ employees may report on a 2-hour delay. All other employees and students do not report, and all scheduled extra-curricular activities are postponed.
Due to circumstances and technical difficulties beyond our control with our communications program, which is the reason for parents missing bus calls, we will be placing any and all future bus change calls to the school call lists to ensure no one gets missed. What this means is that if there is a change to a bus in the West Preston area, all West Preston and PHS students will receive that call. This also means, you could receive multiple calls in a row some days. This will only be temporary, and we apologize for those of you, primarily PHS students and parents, who could receive the most calls. Hopefully, better weather is on the way, but in the meantime, we have a plan to remedy the situation, but it will take some time to update all information. We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience. As always, you can find all of our information on the app, as well as Facebook, so when in doubt, check for updates prior to sending your student out. Thank you and have a good evening.
Due to the vast number of recent weather delays and cancellations, report cards will now be distributed on January 31st, as opposed to the original January 24th date. This extra week will allow for teachers to collect student work and enter term 2 grades, so that way the reports are accurate and not missing grades.
The Bulldogs are back in action tonight against the Aurora Bears here at Bruceton. Girls tip off at 5:45 and boys at 7:00. Tonight's student council theme is Hawaiian Night. Wear your Hawaiian gear and Mrs. Stump will also have leis for sale outside the gym.

Huge shout out to both our middle school boys' and girls' basketball teams for their awesome games against TAEP on Monday. The girls started off with a bang, crushing it 39-17 over the Eagles. Big props to Layla Bolinger for leading with 12 points, followed by Ainsley Cox with 8, Eileen Parks with 6, Kaylyn Selby with 5, and Miranda Poe and Paisley Schnopp, both scoring 4 points. Way to go, girls!
The boys kept the momentum rolling with a solid 46-26 victory. Callen Knox was on fire, scoring 17 points, with Gage Hendershot adding 11. Thomas Rogers and Tyler Parks each chipped in 5 points, with Colton Everline and Austin Lemley both adding 3, and Logan Bishoff finishing strong with 2 points. We’re so proud of everyone!
