At last night's board meeting, we recognized Junior Joselyn Smith from PPHS for her contributions to her community. She organized an event to beautify the town of Paw Paw by gathering volunteers to paint a mural on a wall at the corner of Winchester and River Street. She also helped create a garden just above the mural.
Congratulations to Paw Paw High School and Berkeley Springs High School! Both are among seventy-one high schools recognized as a 2025 Champion of College Access and Success. https://www.cfwv.com/champion/

Our summer school students went on an exciting field trip today to the For the Kids, By George Children’s Museum in Martinsburg, WV! 🚌📚
They explored local history, transportation, and hands-on exhibits that made learning come alive. It was a day full of discovery, fun, and unforgettable experiences!
