Prioritizing Student Well-Being At the June 2nd Board of Education meeting, Doddridge County Schools proudly recognized the 2025 Holistic Child Champions for Mental Health, individuals who exemplify what it means to place student wellness at the heart of education. These five staff members were nominated for their compassion, advocacy, and commitment to creating safe, supportive environments where students feel seen, heard, and valued: • Countywide – Cole Griffin • DCELA – Lisa Talkington • DCES – Myra Lipscomb • DCMS – Nicole Davis • DCHS – Rhonda Travis At a time when mental health support is more essential than ever, these champions are making a lasting difference by building trust, fostering resilience, and promoting a culture of care.
