Preston County Schools is proud of our most recently inducted, "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe." On Tuesday, June 9th, at a ceremony in Charleston, State Superintendent of Schools Michele L. Blatt was joined by Gov. Patrick Morrisey today to honor 225 8th grade students as Golden Horseshoe winners. This year's winners from Preston County were:
Alexis Atkins, West Preston School
Ainsley Feathers, South Preston School
Vada Walsh, Terra Alta/East Preston School
Myla Zinn, Central Preston Middle School (Not pictured)
Superintendent Blatt knighted students and Gov. Morrisey pinned them as members of the 95th class winners during ceremonies at the West Virginia Culture Center. The students joined the ranks of more than 15,000 students who have been knighted since 1931.
The annual Golden Horseshoe exam showcases students’ knowledge of the Mountain State's history, civics, government, geography, economics, culture and other categories. While the program is a competition, the exam meets the social studies testing requirement per W.Va. Code §18-2-9.
"The Golden Horseshoe pin symbolizes students’ dedication to academic success and becoming an informed citizen who is proud of their state heritage," said Superintendent Blatt. "Their commitment to learning and understanding West Virginia history exemplifies the qualities of future leaders who will help shape West Virginia for generations to come."
