🎉 Nitro High School Signing Day with Marshall University! 💚🐾✍️🎓
Wednesday morning was a proud moment for Nitro High School as students signed their letters of intent to continue their academic journeys at Marshall University! 🏫➡️🏛️
Marshall University brought Signing Day to the Nitro campus, with President Brad Smith speaking to students before the official signing. 📣✨ Afterward, he celebrated each future Son and Daughter of Marshall by taking photos 🤳📸 and congratulating them personally. 👏🎉
President Smith also gave special recognition to NHS students currently enrolled in the Herd Academy—a powerful program that gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credit without having to leave the Nitro campus. 🎓📚💪 We are incredibly proud of these students for their hard work and commitment to their futures. 🌟
🥧 To give President Smith a true taste of Nitro, NHS students and staff gifted him with a peanut butter pie from Diehl's Restaurant. 🪵 Students also hand crafted a shadow box for President Smith.
Congratulations to all the Nitro Wildcats who are joining the Herd! 🐾💚 Your next chapter is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish at Marshall! 🚀📖

🎓👏 Huge shoutout to our 11th grade students across Kanawha County Schools for knocking out the SAT School Day assessment! 👏🎓
The SAT is a big milestone — it’s a nationally recognized college and career readiness test from the College Board and is accepted by colleges and universities here in West Virginia and all over the country. Students put in the time and effort to prepare, and we’re so proud of how they showed up and gave it their all. 🙌
We also want to give a big thank you to our teachers and staff who helped get students ready and kept spirits high on test day. 💙
