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."
Let's keep reading all summer long. It's like a vacation for the mind, but you don't have to pack a bag, and you don't need gas money, or snacks...well, maybe still snacks.
There will be a special meeting of the Preston County Board of Education on Thursday, June 4, 2026 for scheduled student disciplinary hearings.

See the pages turnin’ by the window/On a golden summer afternoon/A little light falls softly on my story/Got me lost inside another world so soon/Summer reads make me feel fine/Flippin’ through the pages in my mind/Summer reads make me feel fine/
Driftin’ through the stories I can find (To the tune of "Summer Breeze")

Happy Summer and Happy Reading everyone.
Thank you all for another great school year in Preston County, have a safe and happy summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in August.
We are leaving the school at 8:00 AM. If your child is signed up to ride the bus, please make sure they are at the school by 7:45 AM. We plan to leave the park at 3:00 PM and return to the school by approximately 6:00 PM. Students will need to be signed out by a parent/guardian when we return to the school.
Chaperones: We have Pavilion #1 reserved for the day, and you will receive your group list on Monday at the gate.
Kennywood is a cash-free park. Machines are available throughout the park to convert cash into Kennywood cards.
Some rides have height requirements. It would be helpful if you measured your child prior to Monday so they know which rides they may be able to enjoy.
Please dress your child appropriately with comfortable footwear. There are water rides, so clothing may get wet. Students should carry an extra outfit in a bag, as wet clothes cannot be worn on the bus ride home.
The weather looks beautiful, so please apply sunscreen before arriving. Students should also bring a disposable water bottle, as hydration is important throughout the day.
If students purchase souvenirs, they will be responsible for carrying them for the remainder of the trip.
We will meet at the park main entrance to pick up tickets and divide into groups.
