I just wanted to thank Bruceton School and the Bruceton Community for 28 awesome years. I was the one that was blessed! After 4 years at Central, that I'm very thankful for, and being riffed, I received a phone call in August of 1998 asking if I wanted the middle school math position at Bruceton. After driving from Etam to Bruceton that first day, I thought no way am I driving that far every day. I was actually hooked from day one. The school and community accepted me from the start. The staff and administration took me under their wings, as you might say, guided me, gave me advice, and let me do my thing. The students, from day one, were top notch. That first year toughened me up, but I knew the kiddos were my top priority. Always were! For many years, I told the students that we had three goals. Become an outstanding person, become an outstanding student, and improve math skills. As far as I'm concerned, we never failed. Passed above and beyond. To every student I have ever had, thank you and I love you all. It was AWESOME! By the way...you did learn some math along the way! Thank you to the parents and guardians for giving me great, young people to work with and your support. Thank you to all the staff and administrators. Never wanted to be anywhere else. To the current staff...I hope you have the best year ever! Everyone take care, eat a pickle, and laugh each day. I'll be around every now and then.
Thanks again and God bless you all.

Reminder - Pre-K, K, 7th grade, 12th Grade students are REQUIRED to have the listed vaccinations before they can start school. Without proper documentation, then a student cannot attend until the shots are completed and records are at the school. There is no grace period. We don't want to see your student unnecessarily miss school days. Please contact one of our nurses for assistance, return their voicemails, or contact the health department with any questions. As of today, there are 92 seniors with records still missing of having the appropriate vaccines. It is against state law for them to be in the building without records of the required immunizations. This even pertains to virtual students.
Reminder of vaccine requirements for PCS Students (PK, new enrollments and 7th and 12th grades) - Immunizations are a requirement by state code for student enrollment in WV Public Schools.
Last June (2025), the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE), members voted unanimously to comply with state law regarding required school immunizations as it is written in W. Va. Code §16-3-4.
To date, the West Virginia Legislature has not voted in favor of religious exemptions for vaccines and continue to comply with the law that dates back to 1937.

"Hi! My name is Robin Marcus! This is my twenty-sixth year of teaching and my first year teaching in Preston County! I am so happy to be joining the Bruceton Elementary educator team as a fifth grade teacher. I have taught 5th grade in the past and am really excited to meet all of my new students! I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary K – 8 from Fairmont State University, and my Master’s Degree from WVU in Special Education – Gifted. I also hold a certification for Special Education, Learning Disorders. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling, crafting, stained glass working and hanging out with my husband, two kids, and our furry friends. This year, my travels allowed me to stand on the beaches of both our east and west coast! I am looking forward to an awesome new year!"
