🎉 A Big Shoutout to Woodrow Wilson High School! 🎉
During the month of November, the student council, led by Mrs. Pam Shrader, hosted a record-breaking food drive! The student body worked together as four grade levels competed to bring in the most items. Collectively, the school donated over 9,400 food items to the Salvation Army in Beckley! 🥫💪
This generous donation supports the community and broke last year’s school record—what an incredible achievement!
Special recognition goes to the senior class, who donated more than half of the collected items. Their efforts earned them the honor of pieing their principal, Mr. Stafford, in the face! 🥧😂
We are so proud of Woodrow Wilson High School for leading with generosity and making a real impact in our community. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤️

Dear Raleigh County Schools Parents and Guardians,
On Monday, April 8, 2024, it is anticipated between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM that our region will experience a partial solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, blocking all or a portion of the sun’s rays.
Medical professionals advise it is always dangerous to look directly at the sun without appropriate eye protection. Out of an abundance of caution, Raleigh County Schools (RCS) will be taking extra steps for your child’s safety.
•RCS will follow a regular schedule on Monday, April 8, 2024.
•All schools have been encouraged to share the solar eclipse viewing experience with students by utilizing television feeds or internet live streams.
•Resources and lessons about the solar eclipse are available from the West Virginia Department of Education, NASA, and other science outlets.
•School staff will advise students of the dangers of looking directly at the sun at any time, especially during the solar eclipse.
•Students will not be permitted outside for any activities other than those planned and approved by the principal during the hours of 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This includes recess, athletics, band or other outdoor after school activities.
•As students are dismissed, staff will be on hand to instruct students not to look directly at the sun and to monitor as they exit the building.
The eclipse may occur during dismissal time. RCS asks parents to reinforce the dangers of looking at the sun and to remind their children not to look directly at the sun on their way home from school on Monday, April 8, 2024.
We appreciate your understanding and support during this unique learning experience and ask that you talk with your children about the eclipse prior to school on Monday, April 8.
Senior parents,
This Thursday, March 28th, we have several scholarships closing; J. Lee , Dr. Foley, and Vecelio & Grogan. These scholarships are posted to a special group on Schoology, "Scholarships Class of 2024”. All Seniors have been manually added to this group.
Please make sure these applications are given to Mrs. Stover in the main office before 2:00PM on Thursday March 28th. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Stover via email kaitlyn.stover@k12.wv.us
The Kevin English Scholarship and the Harden Scholarship DO NOT get turned in to Mrs. Stover. They can be mailed, or emailed. The information for those can be found in the Senior Scholarship 2024 group.
Thank you!
