Expect delays with North-end buses.
Good afternoon, Due to downed power lines and that Route 16-North is blocked, please expect delays from buses as they may need to travel an alternative route. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Calhoun County had 2 group projects place at the State Social Studies Fair! We are proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our outstanding students:
Henley Cunningham and Scarettle Probasco — 2nd Place
Silas Cunningham and Brently Snodgrass — Honorable Mention
On April 28, the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) hosted 566 students during the 2026 West Virginia State Social Studies Fair (WVSSSF), the largest student participation since the Fair began in 1977. Students in Grades 3-12 presented 357 projects on topics including world history, U.S. history, anthropology, geography, economics, sociology, psychology and state and local studies. For a full list of winners, view the 2026 WVSSSF Official Results, https://state.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=adc0aee8266235621ea85e6c6&id=f4b14bbaea&e=6c7c5a0d83

SMART529 Fund the Future Sweepstakes Opportunity
The West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office (WVSTO) announced the Fund the Future Sweepstakes on May 1, 2026. One lucky West Virginia child will win a $10,000 SMART529 College Savings account. Children must be 17 years of age or younger to enter. Deadline is Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The entry form and official sweepstakes rules can be found at www.wvtreasury.gov/fundthefuture.
•Entries must be completed by a parent or legal guardian •Child must be 17 or younger •Child AND parent or legal guardian must be a resident of West Virginia •Only one entry per eligible child permitted •Multiple children in a household may be entered to win *See Official Sweepstakes Rules for eligibility requirement details and other contest rules.
Research shows that children, with even a small amount of college savings, are 2.5 times more likely to graduate from college. We hope our sweepstakes inspires families to learn about the SMART529 College Savings Program and start planning for their child’s educational future. Funds saved in a SMART529 account aren’t just limited to paying for college – the funds can also be used for apprenticeship programs as well as vocational and trade schools across the United States and even some foreign institutions.
Calhoun County is proud to recognize our outstanding students who earned the prestigious West Virginia Golden Horseshoe Award, one of the state’s highest honors for knowledge of WV history and civics.
Congratulations Brooke Brown and Alayna Wolford!
These students have shown exceptional dedication, curiosity, and pride in our Mountain State. We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and achievement.
Way to go, Calhoun County scholars — you make our community shine! 🌄✨
