It appears we're currently having and will continue to have the Preston County Winter we've all become accustomed to, but haven't seen in the past few years. The state allocates us, based off additional learning time in our buildings each day, 5 traditional snow days, where students and staff under 240 day contracts do not report, and allows 5 non-traditional learning days (Brain Freeze) where students work from home and staff reports. If we exhaust all these days, make-up days, either via from Spring Break, or at the end of the school year, will need to be used to meet the state requirements. If we go over those allocated days, the calendar will be adjusted and you will be informed of the dates of those make-up days.

Preston County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay for tomorrow, Thursday, January 22nd. Maintenance, mechanics, and custodians report on a regular schedule, and all other students and staff will report on a 2 hour delay.

Preston High School was fortunate to have a generous donor collaborate with our Communities In Schools (CIS) program to recognize several deserving students. Communities In Schools is a national, school-based support program designed to keep students in school, engaged, and on track to graduate by removing barriers that interfere with learning. Congratulations to these fine young individuals who were recognized by their peers and staff members for their efforts, growth, and commitment to success. Keep up the excellent work.
