Tucker County High

If you have been out to watch your undefeated Tucker County Mountain Lions football team this fall, you may have spotted the TCHS pep band returning to the stands of R. H. Armstrong Memorial Field. TCHS is thankful and proud to have these students and their fearless leader, Ms. Osborne, represent us and help us get this program back up and going. They may be small, but they sound terrific! 

TCHS is proud to have 4 student athletes represent us at the 2024 WVSSAC Chick-fil-A leadership summit in Morgantown. These young ladies represent everything positive about TCHS and our community, both in the classroom and on the court.

TCHS Students: A house contest will be held on the 1st day of school to see which house has the most members wear their colored house bracelet. Sophomore through senior students received these bracelets last year, and incoming freshman received these bracelets during 8th grade move-up day last year. Staff members should also participate. Also, juniors and seniors who picked up their driving contracts yesterday at the back to school event can drive to school on Monday if they bring their contract, payment, license, and insurance to school with them on Monday. 

Senior parent/guardian and students: This is a reminder that your last booster of meningitis vaccination is due before returning to school. Seniors should bring documentation of this final installment of the vaccination series on the first day of school.

Students who are enrolled in Eastern Community & Technical College Courses this fall should be aware that Eastern courses began this week. Students should check emails from Eastern to ensure they do not miss course information prior to returning to school next week.

We’re excited to invite students and parents to the first annual Back-to-School Event at Mill Race Park from 11 o'clock through 2'oclock. Join us for a free hot dog lunch, pick up student schedules, and complete parking pass applications for juniors and seniors. You’ll also have the chance to meet our faculty! Freshman students and families can get orientation information at the event. Additionally, we’re offering guided tours at the high school on August 22nd from 1 to 5 PM to help students get familiar with their classrooms. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Good evening Tucker County families. All Tucker County Schools will operate on a 2 hour delay tomorrow March 11, 2024.

Earlier today, it was brought to the attention of the TCHS administration that there were concerns over social media posts made outside of school. Those posts were investigated immediately by the Tucker County Sheriff’s Office, and they were able to determine that no threat existed and all students were safe.

Attention: please share for our Aurora students: Bus 19A (Alan Kidwell’s bus) can only go as far as Mt. Grove Church this morning due to a road closure. If you can get your students to school, he can bring them home today. If not, it will be an excused absence, just contact the school and let the secretary know.

Reminder: No School for Students tomorrow (2/19). It is a Professional Learning Day for staff.
