Doddridge County Schools

The Doddridge County Board of Education recognized three students who submitted winning designs in the West Virginia Department of Education’s Mathematical Habits of Mind Poster Contest at Monday night’s board meeting. The board recognized Grace Godfrey, Deshawn Hyde and A’kaia Williams for their designs along with High School math teacher Marcie Yeater. Godfrey, Williams and Yeater were present at the board meeting. In an effort to include students’ voices in the launch of the Unite with Numeracy initiative, the WVDE held the contest last school year. More than 200 students from all grade levels submitted their ideas/artwork on the eight Mathematical Habits of Mind depicting how math is a part of everyday life. Judges selected winners, and their submissions were the inspiration for the final designs. Teachers throughout the state will display the posters in their schools and classrooms to promote the importance and impact of math. Superintendent Scott Cochran said “We are extremely proud of our students’ success competing against other top schools in the state. Only one other high school had more than one winner and only Doddridge County had three winners.” Other winning schools were: Morgantown High School, George Washington High School, Berkeley Springs High School, Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute, Hurricane Town Elementary School, and Bridgeport Middle School. At the meeting A’Kai Williams led the pledge of allegiance.
