Today, a group of high school students who felt called to lead took part in the GameChanger Program’s Peer Leadership Training — an inspiring opportunity that equipped them with tools to lead with purpose and make a real impact at Doddridge County High School.
We’re incredibly proud of these students for stepping up as leaders, changemakers, and role models for their peers and community. Their commitment to creating a positive school culture is something to celebrate! 💚💛

This achievement marks the fourth time in six years our team has earned a first-place ranking — with the other two years finishing second and third. Their continued excellence ensures that our buses remain safe, reliable, and ready to transport our students each day.
We deeply appreciate their dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to student safety.

The Doddridge County Board of Education proudly recognizes our Doddridge FFA Horse Evaluation Team for their outstanding accomplishments! 🐎✨
Earlier this fall, four of our Bulldogs traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts to compete in the Eastern States Exposition Horse Evaluation Career Development Event. The team placed 3rd in the eastern region, with three members finishing in the top nine — a tremendous achievement that reflects their hard work, skill, and dedication! 👏
🏆 Team Members:
Bell Holtz, Zoey Richards, Rogan Smith, and Trey McDonough
Under the direction of instructors Mr. Rabel and Ms. Wean, these students have demonstrated exceptional ability in evaluation, reasoning, and presentation — representing Doddridge County with excellence.
Next up, they’re heading to Columbus, Ohio next week to represent Doddridge County and the State of West Virginia at the National Competition! 🐴
We are incredibly proud of these talented students and wish them the very best as they take their #MissionInMotion to the national stage! 💚💛

This week, students from both Doddridge County Early Learning Academy and Doddridge County Elementary School participated in a fun and meaningful on-site Farmer’s Market — part of our district-wide attendance incentive program!
Thanks to a valuable partnership with our Holistic Child Department/Communities In Schools Team, Route 18 Farmer’s Market, and the Doddridge County Farmer’s Market, students were rewarded for showing up ready to learn with tokens and shopping bags to “shop” for fresh, local produce. 🛍️🍏🎃
From cabbage, peppers, and pumpkins to apples, potatoes, and more, students were thrilled to choose their own fruits and veggies — many excited to bring them home and help prepare a family meal! 🥗👩🍳
We are incredibly thankful to our community partners for their time and generosity, and for helping us promote healthy habits and the importance of school attendance across Doddridge County.

Did you know that students who miss 9 or fewer days in a 180-day school year are significantly more likely to stay on track academically and graduate on time?
📉 Missing just 2 days a month—even if excused—can lead to learning gaps, lower grades, and decreased engagement.
✅ Helpful tips for families to support strong attendance:
• Set a consistent bedtime and morning routine to make mornings smoother.
• Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
• Keep communication open with teachers and the school if your child is struggling.
• Make school a priority—help your child understand that showing up matters.
• Plan vacations or trips during school breaks to avoid missed days.
Let’s work together to build strong attendance habits and support every child’s path to success—because every day counts!
