Summer learning, teacher edition. ☀️📚

140 KCS teachers attended Math and English Summer Learning Academies last week. They spent the week sharing ideas and finding new ways to support students.

It was more than just professional development...it was connection, collaboration, and a reminder of how much heart our teachers bring to the classroom. 💙

+215 for the Thundering Herd 💚

🦬 Through the KCS–Marshall University direct admission partnership, 215 KCS seniors in the Class of 2026 were directly admitted to Marshall University...with no application and no fees.

This is one more way KCS is working to connect students with options that support their goals after graduation. We’re grateful to Marshall University for this partnership that removes college admission barriers for students and families.

We are excited to continue the direct admit program with Marshall and are working to add additional universities around the state.

🎓 Congratulations to these students and every student who earned their KCS diploma this year. We can't wait to see where your path takes you next!

This survey gives families an important opportunity to provide input on communication, collaboration, and support. Your feedback helps schools and districts better understand what is working well and where improvements can be made.

Thank you for taking the time to share your voice and help support continued growth for students and families across Kanawha County Schools.

🌿 Trails, bridges, pollinator gardens, wildlife habitats, and student creativity...this is STEAM learning in action!

Students in the Riverside feeder area recently wrapped up an incredible year-long environmental education project made possible through a STEAM Grant from WV Tourism and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.

Students helped design two hiking trails, built a bridge and ponds, created pollinator gardens, installed bird, squirrel, bee and bat houses and feeders, developed a wildlife market and created award-winning environmental art.

A huge thank you to the many people and organizations who helped make this project possible, including WVDEP, WV DNR, WVSU 4-H, WV State Police, Morris Creek Watershed, Riverside High School student groups, DuPont Middle School, Marshall University, WVU, Wendy’s, Dairy Queen, school staff, families and so many others who gave their time, talents and support.

Congratulations to our Eco Warriors! You showed what can happen when students, schools and the community come together to take care of the place we call home. 🌎💚

This matters.

10 GWHS AP U.S. History students helped create a fabric tile that will become part of a massive American flag mosaic honoring America’s 250th anniversary.

Thousands of students. One flag. Unveiled in Boston in December 2026.
