Large green text reads “Happy Administrative Professional Day.” Below, smaller text says, “To the everyday champions who support the Pocahontas County staff, students, and schools with quiet strength. You are so very appreciated!” An illustration shows a person seated at a desk using a laptop with a notebook and pencil cup nearby.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, Late Thursday evening, a student social media post was flagged as a potential safety concern. Pocahontas County Schools was promptly notified by Emergency Management Director Ben Brown and immediately took appropriate action. Mr. Brown, Pocahontas County Schools Director of Safety Mr. Gibson, and Superintendent Williams worked closely with the West Virginia State Police to review and address the concern. All established safety protocols were followed, and the situation has been resolved. Schools are operating on a normal schedule, and there is no ongoing safety concern for students or staff. This message is shared to ensure clear and transparent communication with our parents and community rather than as an alert. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority, and we appreciate the strong collaboration among our local and state partners. Thank you for your continued support of Pocahontas County Schools. Dr. Williams, Superintendent of Schools
🎉 Celebrating All of Our Regional Math Field Day Participants! 🎉

We are so proud of every student who represented our schools at the Regional Elementary/Middle (Including 9th Grade) Math Field Day. Students from all of our schools came together to take on a challenging and highly competitive event that showcased their problem-solving skills, perseverance, and passion for math. 🧠📐

The competition was fierce, with many students separated by just a single point in the final standings—proof of the incredible depth of talent across our region. Every participant should be applauded for the effort, focus, and determination they brought to the day.

A special acknowledgment goes to Eli, Joseph, and Noah, who were selected as alternates for the Statewide Competition!

👏 Congratulations to every student, coach, teacher and school involved! 👏

Earlier today at Pocahontas County High School, a belt on a compressor heating unit in the band room malfunctioned. As a precaution, the school initiated a fire safety drill and evacuated students to the auditorium while the fire department was contacted. The fire department has since assessed the situation and confirmed that there is no ongoing risk. All students have safely returned to their classrooms, and normal operations have resumed. At this time, the school’s phone system is temporarily down but is expected to be restored to full service shortly. Thank you
