What a great day in Charleston! A small group of students from "Riverside Designs" traveled to the WV State Capitol, on Friday, February 20, to share program information and products made in our Simulated Workplace classroom. Riverside Designs is the Digital Imaging/Multimedia Year 2 course open to grades 10-12.

Sample products on the display included sublimated coffee mugs and mason jars, mousepads, pet bandanas, and keychains. Additional items included 3D printed WV state outlines, vinyl banners, and printed stationery.

Students were introduced in the South Gallery by Senator Jay Taylor and were provided the opportunity for a group picture with legislators representing Taylor County. Thank you for a wonderful CTE Day as we continue our CTE Month celebrations!

Our Boys 200 Free Relay made history as the first Bearcat relay ever to bring home hardware from the state meet! Even more impressive... just these four boys scored a combined 38 points, enough to tie for 4th place overall as a Boys Team in WV Division II. An incredible accomplishment!

Patrick Foley swam a personal best in the 100 Breaststroke

Dylan Stead took full advantage of his return swim in finals, moving up a spot to finish 7th place in the state in the 100 Backstroke
