September 19 has been declared West Virginia School Service Personnel Day by Governor Justice.
I also wish to express my gratitude for all the hard work and dedication our service personnel bring to Doddridge County Schools. Their efforts make a world of difference in creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for students and staff alike.
Their commitment to their work and compassion for our students, whether in the cafeteria, maintaining our facilities, providing support in the classroom, making sure our buses are safe, transporting our students or managing administrative tasks, does not go unnoticed. They play a vital role in shaping the educational experience and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
So thank you to our School Service Personnel!

#BulldogsInTheBuilding
Good Evening,
The Doddridge County Board of Education is committed to the safety of all students and staff members. As many are aware, there has been a statewide and nationwide circulation of school threats via various forms of social media. At this point, Doddridge County has no credible evidence as it relates to these threats associated with our schools, we will continue to monitor the situation in collaboration with the Doddridge County Sheriff's Office, WV State Police, Homeland Security and the Fusion Center. We would like to thank our local law enforcement agencies for keeping our schools safe and secure.

Governor Jim Justice released the following:
You're invited to attend a Community Resource Vendor Night on 9/20/24 prior to the home football game from 5 pm to 7 pm at Cline Stansberry Stadium. (Located behind the home bleachers). Please come out and meet local resources within our community that can provide supports as needed.
The Doddridge County Board of Education, along with Superintendent Cochran, extends its continued thoughts and prayers to the student injured in yesterday’s motor vehicle accident. We ask that our students and community unite in prayer, offering strength and support for our fellow Bulldog and their family members.

Third Judicial Circuit Judge Tim Sweeney issued a preliminary injunction earlier today which granted Doddridge County High School’s request to compete in the Single A classification for football for the 2024 season.
Judge Sweeney’s Order does not change the classification of any other school. The Order is specifically limited to Doddridge County High School and is preliminary in nature.
Doddridge County Schools Superintendent Scott Cochran said, “Judge Sweeney’s order today reflects what we have been arguing for months. Doddridge County High School should be classified with those schools that are similar in size, located in our region, and which we have a history of competition that goes back many decades. Today’s order restores competitive balance, provides for player safety, and will ensure that our natural rivals remain on our schedule in future years. I wish to thank Judge Sweeney for acting on our request prior to the start of the football season.”
