Today, we are recognizing all PCS school bus drivers for taking care of our precious cargo during the school year. Today is nationally recognized as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, but we appreciate these unsung heroes of the roads everyday. Whether they are transporting our kids to school, home, activities, or to sporting events, school bus drivers deserve recognition for the job they do. Thank you PCS Bus Drivers.
Tomorrow, more than 550 Students from across the state will present at the 2026 State Social Studies Fair. Preston County Schools will have 37 students presenting, representing 26 total projects. That means out of all 55 Counties, PCS students are representing 7% of the participants at the state level. That's very strong representation. If all counties were represented equally, each would have 1.8%, so PCS more than surpasses that. Good luck to all of our participants at States:
