Menu Change:
Due to the anticipated weather forecast, the Thanksgiving School Meal originally on the menu for this Thursday the 21st, will now be served on Wednesday the 20th just in case there's any kind of schedule change. We want to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving Meal prior to break.
At approx. 1:45 (current time), Friday, November 15th, 2024, an event, unknown to students, kicked-off that should result in the school going into lockdown. This is a planned DRILL in cooperation with school admin, county admin, safety/security director, and the law enforcement, to better prepare our students and staff in the event of an actual emergency. If you receive communication from your student during this time, or hear or see chatter on social media, again THIS IS ONLY A DRILL. We hope that this training and continued training for our students will better prepare them and our staff in the event of an actual emergency.

Today's Board of Education meeting was full of recognitions. Preston County Schools is always happy when given the opportunity to showcase and recognize our amazing students and student athletes. The PCBOE had the opportunity to recognize the PHS Skills USA participants who represented us so great, our always incredible FFA students, and the never disappointing PHS Cross Country Teams. We're so proud of all of these students.
Menu Change for Tuesday, 11-19. Due to an unavailability issue from distribution, the 19th will no longer be a BBQ Rib sandwich, but will be replaced with a bbq pulled pork sandwich. All other accompaniments are the same.
Today isn't just another day off from school or work. Preston County Schools will always honor and remember and would like to thank all our Veterans. We thank those who served, and those who are still serving. We are Preston Proud and Strong, because you've sacrificed so we can be. Thank you.
Tryouts for boys' basketball at Terra Alta / East Preston School will be taking place on Tuesday, November 12th immediately after school. Interested players need to have a physical and proof of insurance by Tuesday in advance of tryouts.

In response to the recent release of information from the Preston County Sherriff's Office:
On Monday, October 21, 2024, Preston High School Principal Todd Seymour was made aware of a teacher possibly possessing a firearm on school grounds. An investigation into the matter was immediately launched, and Superintendent of Preston County Schools Brad Martin was made aware and advised administration at PHS on next steps, as well as the Sheriff's Department of the incident. Mr. McMillen was immediately placed on administrative leave. Due to this being an ongoing personnel matter, as well as being under investigation from authorities, no other information can be released at this time. Continued student safety and security is and always will be a top priority, and Preston County Schools will be evaluating and re-evaluating its protocols to deter and prevent future incidents.
