Superintendent's Message - Dr. Larry Parsons
The Preston County School system is blessed with many advantages. Our rural location provides serene terrain imprinted with mountain forests, flowing streams, and spacious meadows. The culture of the county's residents includes a proud tradition of values, principles, morals, and free spirit. The many communities and open spaces within the county's borders provide an array of quality locations to live, work, and raise families. In total, Preston County is a great place to be.
It is from the aforementioned environment that the school system draws strength to educate students. Citizens believe in both trust and integrity. Upon being convinced that the system's leadership holds these principles in high regard, financial support for the school system is unlimited. Students are given priority in social, emotional, physical, and educational dedicated support. The entire Preston County community cares deeply about its children.
The school system remains committed to providing an exceptional educational opportunity for all students regardless of innate ability. A comprehensive curriculum is made available to students in grades preschool to adult. Post-secondary data reflect that our graduates become quality employees and have excelled in college, associate programs, the military, and in a variety of other career pathways.
It is our belief that to prepare youth for the future, a positive foundation in values, morals, principles, and a positive work ethic is required. Upon these basic character components, the attainment of an education with high expectations is built. Future success is both in the preparation and implementation of knowledge.
