This week is National Public Schools Week. More than 90% of students in the state attend public schools, and these schools are meeting the growing needs of students in unique ways. From academics to the developmental, nutritional and socio-emotional needs of children, public school administrators, educators and personnel continue to care for 235,000 public school students in the Mountain State, including those right here in Preston County. Preston County Schools is proud of the work of our dedicated staff and don't take our roles in our students' lives for granted. Thank you for allowing us to educate your children, and our future. #PublicSchoolProudWV
Please join PCS in celebrating and recognizing National FFA Week. FFA is the top school-based youth leadership development organization in the country, with more than one million members in all 50 states, as well as two territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Formerly known as Future Farmers of America, the organization was rebranded as FFA because it now equips students with the skills to pursue more than 350 careers in business, science, engineering, education, communications, policy, and more. PCS is fortunate and thankful to have such a strong representation and mentorship in FFA and through the Ag programs at PHS.
