Good Morning Families,
We are starting a new course next year that is SAT preparation. This will be offered to upcoming junior students that would like support and guidance on achieving higher scores on the SAT and potentially earning the Promise Scholarship towards college. The Promise Scholarship awards recipients $5,500 a year and $22,000 over four years if the student maintains the expected criteria. If your student is interested in this class for the upcoming year, please have them see a counselor next week. The class will be offered during 4th period.

Attention Seniors,

Due to weather concerns, graduation has been moved to the Rockefeller Center Gymnasium on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College.

All graduates are REQUIRED to attend graduation practice on Wednesday at 8:00 AM at Buckhannon-Upshur High School. During practice, each graduate will receive six (6) tickets for the ceremony. Because graduation has been moved indoors, seating is limited, and tickets must be restricted to ensure every graduate is able to have loved ones in attendance.

Additionally, Senior Awards Night will be held on Thursday at 6:00 PM in the auditorium at Buckhannon-Upshur High School. Any senior who has applied for scholarships or may potentially receive an award is strongly encouraged to attend.
