Mineral County Schools is proud to announce that is has joined the Communities in Schools network as of July 1, 2023. The Communities in Schools program is a national program and is located though out almost every county in West Virginia. In the 2021-2022 school year, over 3,000 sites were in place across the nation which resulted in reaching over 1.8 million students-- reducing barriers, empowering students, and engaging families.

The first three schools in our MCS Communities in School program are located in the Keyser area. We hope to expand this program to the Frankfort area in the future. These are grant funded programs and we need support from our community to serve our students. We continue to seek grant funds both locally and nationally and we also accept donations to our program. You can donate to a specific site or to the program as a whole. Each of our sites work with all students enrolled in that school. Students have access to a student care closet where food, clothing, personal care, and school supplies may be obtained. If your organization is interested in partnering with our program, please contact us for more information. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated.
