Our 180-day waiver request for Calhoun County has been approved by the West Virginia Department of Education. This means we will not have to make up any additional days that were missed due to weather.
The students’ last day of school will remain the same as the approved 2025–2026 school calendar.
📅 The last day for students will be May 29th.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to your school’s main office.
✍️🌟 Celebrating Our WV Young Writers!
Calhoun County is proud to recognize our outstanding WV Young Writers contestants whose creativity, imagination, and storytelling shined across every grade level. Our judges shared that they truly enjoyed every story submitted this year. These selected entries stood out based on a rubric that considered grammar, language usage, plot development, overall flow, and—most importantly—creativity.
- Grades 1–2: Abigail Hicks
- Grades 3–4: Gracelynn Baker
- Grades 5–6: Willis Gainer‑Pittman
- Grades 7–8: Harlow Sarratori
- Grades 9–10: Jasmyne Tingler
- Grades 11–12: Madison Cunningham
These young authors represent the heart and talent of our students. Their dedication to writing and their willingness to share their voices make us incredibly proud. We also want to recognize Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Hoskins, Mrs. Summers, Mrs. Stewart, and Dr. Gainer, whose encouragement and guidance helped these writers find the confidence to tell their stories
These students will have the opportunity to participate in Young Writers Day at the University of Charleston in May, where their creativity will be honored alongside students from across the state. ❤️
