Today, Mr. Piekarski and a group of PCHS students were able to tour Wheeling University to see what college life is all about. Thanks to PCHS graduate McKenzie Thomas who took time out of her day to share her experience as a Wheeling University Cardinal. #college #Wetzelcs #future
Who’s ready for some Turkey 🦃 and @Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2024? Great job Miss Holly Cain - Wetzel TIS for your creative lesson for the LDS students! 👏🏻👏🏻
NMS students got a wild surprise when Coastal Wilds showed up with some seriously cool critters - a bearded dragon, hedgehog, chinchilla, owl, and a guinea pig. Let's just say the students were hooked on learning about these funky animals. Talk about a wild learning experience! #Wetzelcs
HHS students showed Mrs. Porter how to bring the heat in FFA today! I'm loving the bacon, pork, and ham, but I'm not sure I could handle that level of sizzle! 🐖 🥓🥩 #bacon #pork #ham #thankafarmer #ffa #Wetzel
We appreciate our staff every day! Thank you!
Wetzel County Schools would like to take a minute to celebrate the incredible work of our school psychologist, Mrs. Meghan Hancock, who is dedicated to ensuring that every student has the tools needed to succeed. Mrs. Hancock has been with Wetzel County Schools since July 2014. She graduated from Bethany College with a degree in psychology and then pursued her Master's in School Psychology from California University of Pennsylvania. School Psychologists play a crucial role in helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally by assessing, intervening, collaborating, and advocating for the well-being of our students. She shares her life with her husband, their one-year-old daughter, and their cats. While employed at WCS, Mrs. Hanock obtained her BCBA, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, assessing challenging behaviors, creating customized plans for students, consulting with and assisting teachers in planning programs, and holding countless training sessions to improve student outcomes. She leads our county-wide SAT, Student Assistance Team, which helps provide ways to support the learning needs of students so that special education services are less likely to be needed.
Mrs. Meghan Hancock is a vital asset to Wetzel County Schools. Please join us in thanking her today and every day for her tireless work.
Maggi Still, an RBT (Registered Behavior Therapist- in training) has the following to say regarding Meghan.
"Meghan has kindly welcomed me into WCS and has greatly impacted my journey in this profession. Her guidance, support, and feedback have always made a positive impact and helped me through difficult challenges. Meghan has become a huge influence and encouraged me to pursue a career in behavioral analysis. Her devotion and commitment to WCS make me want to be better! She is not only a great role model, but her leadership has shaped my career choice and left a lasting impression on me personally, too. Her countless hours of dedication never go unnoticed. Meghan's willingness to help those in need and put others before herself inspires so many of us, including me. I truly cannot imagine working with anyone else! Best Supervisor Ever!"
Buzz, buzz!

Sixth grade students in PLTW Design & Modeling used their measuring skills to create a skimmer. The project required reading dimensions accurately and measuring precisely. The more accurate the measurements the farther the skimmer will glide. Also, they are recording their race distances in their notebooks to complete a statistical analysis for the next assignment. They will compete next week for a PLTW lunchbox, so stay tuned. 📝 👓

Mark your Calendar!! Come out and support our talented students in 🎭Thespian Troop 531 🎭
Show dates are December 6, 7, and 8, 2024.
Directed by Miss Buck (rebecca.l.buck@k12.wv.us)
Assistant Director: Mackenzie McNeil
“Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!”
This show will be produced by special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service (https://www.dramatists.com/).
The Wetzel County Thespian Troupe #531 is proud to present our troupe talent show in ONE WEEK! All are welcome. Admission is by donation. Please come out and support our hard working and talented students.
Ms. Dennis's 8th grade social studies class at Long Drain School accompanied by the Hornet Hive Choir, directed by Melissa Hayes, presented the Annual Veterans Day Program at LDS. We appreciate the support of the veterans and their guests who attended. Thank you to all who served! 🇺🇸
