🌟Celebrating Community Partnerships! 🌟
This week, our Board of Education members and Superintendent Dr. Adam Cheeseman were proud to attend the 2025 4-H & FFA Livestock Sale at Doddridge County Park. 💛💚
Events like this are more than just a sale; they are an investment in our students, families, and community. Through their hard work and dedication, our FFA members and 4-H participants gain lifelong skills in leadership, responsibility, and teamwork that reach far beyond the show ring. 🐄🐖🐐
We are truly grateful for the strong partnerships that make opportunities like this possible. The WVU Extension Office and Doddridge County Park continue to be vital supporters of youth development in our county, and we value the role they play in helping our students grow and succeed. 🌱
Board President Chad Evans shared, “Supporting events like the livestock sale is one of the many ways we can show our students that their hard work matters. This program strengthens not only agricultural education but also the foundation of our entire community.”
👏 Thank you to our board members for showing up to support our students and to everyone who makes this event a success year after year!

Dr. Cheeseman Checks In: United to Lead – Day #2
Day two of the Principal’s Leadership Academy continued to build momentum as district leaders worked to align goals and strategies that drive student success across every grade level.
The day began with Susie Garrison from the Office of Academic Support, who shared impactful ELA Best Practices to strengthen literacy instruction districtwide. Instructional Specialists Sam Baily and Mallory James followed with a comprehensive data overview and analysis. While we continue to see GSA scores in Math and ELA that are exceptional—such as the 3rd and 4th grade ELA results exceeding state percentages—we are reminded that there is always room for improvement and growth. These sessions allow us to celebrate successes while strategically focusing on areas that will push student achievement even further.
To close the day, Michelle Robey, Human Resource Manager/Assistant Superintendent, and Katrina White, Director of Student Support, presented individualized instructional plans to each building-level administrator. These tailored plans provide every school with a focused roadmap to meet the specific needs of their students and sustain continued progress.
Through collaboration, data-driven planning, and the dedication of our entire team, we are putting our Mission in Motion and staying #UnitedToMakeADifference for every Bulldog, every day. 💛💚
