From academics to the developmental, nutritional and socio-emotional needs of children, public school administrators, educators and personnel continue to care for 235,000 public school students in the Mountain State, including those right here in Preston County. Preston County Schools is proud of the work of our dedicated staff and don't take our roles in our students' lives for granted. Thank you for allowing us to educate your children, and our future. #PublicSchoolProudWV

Please join PCS in celebrating and recognizing National FFA Week. FFA is the top school-based youth leadership development organization in the country, with more than one million members in all 50 states, as well as two territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Formerly known as Future Farmers of America, the organization was rebranded as FFA because it now equips students with the skills to pursue more than 350 careers in business, science, engineering, education, communications, policy, and more. PCS is fortunate and thankful to have such a strong representation and mentorship in FFA and through the Ag programs at PHS.

We are celebrating some incredible readers at Kingwood Elementary School!
These students have read and logged 40 books in Beanstack so far this school year — and several students pictured have gone above and beyond by reading 100 books or more!
Reaching 40 books is an impressive goal that takes commitment, consistency, and a true love of reading. Hitting 100 books? That’s extraordinary dedication! We could not be more proud of their hard work.
Reading is the foundation for overall academic growth and success. The more our students read, the stronger their vocabulary, comprehension, writing skills, and confidence become across all subject areas.
Let’s keep the momentum going! We encourage all of our Stags to continue reading and logging their minutes. Every page turned is progress made!
Keep reading, keep growing, and keep reaching for those goals!
