Good evening families, Tomorrow is our last day of school, and will be a 3 hour early release. Next year’s school calendar can be found on the main page of our website. We hope you all have a great summer and look forward to seeing our students on August 15th!
School Calendar Updates for Families and Students
Our waiver request to the West Virginia Department of Education for last week’s cancellation has been approved. This means we will not need to extend the student calendar.
Reminder: Schools will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
The last day for students is Thursday, May 29th which will be a 3-hour early dismissal.
The final week of school is full of celebration, reflection, and wrapping up a great year.
Please help us finish strong by ensuring your child is in school every day. We’re striving for 95% attendance and need everyone’s support to reach that goal!

Join us for a community event at Keyser High School at 6 pm on Tuesday, April 22. MCS and the Mineral County Commission are collaborating to present Mr. John Buckland from Heroes 4 Higher. As an overcomer of terrible child abuse, bullying, and self-destructive choices, John brings a message of hope and empowerment which is fine tuned for all ages. He will be visiting each of our schools throughout the week to share his message of Overcoming Obstacles and the Four Steps to Greatness.
