Today we're proud to recognize Michelle Jones, a Kindergarten Teacher at Pleasant Hill Elementary!

Michelle has been an educator for 11 years and has spent the last 6 years serving the students and families of Calhoun County Schools. She enjoys working alongside fellow educators and collaborating to provide the best support possible for students.

Outside of school, Michelle enjoys spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, riding UTVs, and caring for the animals on the family farm. She also loves to travel and has visited 38 states, as well as destinations in Canada and the Bahamas.

Michelle says one of the things she loves most about Calhoun County Schools is the close-knit atmosphere of a small rural school, where she has the opportunity to know nearly every student by name.

Thank you, Michelle, for your dedication to early learning and for making a positive impact on the lives of your students every day!

🏆 Happy National Coaches Day! 🏆 Today we celebrate the coaches who do so much more than teach a sport. They encourage. They challenge. They motivate. They build confidence. And most importantly, they help shape the character of the young people they coach. ❤️ Thank you to all of our coaches who give their time, energy, patience, and heart to our students and athletes. The lessons you teach reach far beyond the field, court, track, or gym—and your impact lasts long after the season ends. We appreciate everything you do! 💯❤️ Help us celebrate National Coaches Day! 🏆 Give a shout-out in the comments to a coach who has made a positive impact on you or your athlete, and tell us what makes them special! #ilovepublicschools #NationalCoachesDay #ThankYouCoaches #MoreThanAGame #StudentAthletes

Our Art 2, 3, and 4 students are adding color to the cold! ❄️🎨
Through WVDOT’s Paint the Plow program, they’re painting an official snowplow blade that will be featured statewide for public voting—and then used on our local roads this winter. How cool is that?

Our bus garage loved the idea so much that they asked for a painted plow of their own, and our students rose to the occasion with creativity and pride. Led by teacher Jesse Kargol, students Zemirah Hardman, Emma Coinon, Teigan Springston, and Clay Allison brought their talent and teamwork to both plows.

This partnership with the WV Department of Transportation helps cultivate safety, boost school spirit, and teach young drivers about safe winter driving and transportation careers. Proud of our Red Devil artists for representing Calhoun County with creativity and heart!
