📚✨ Special Visitors in the GHS Library! ✨📚 Yesterday, GHS students had the opportunity to learn from WVU archivists and West Virginia Humanities Council personnel right in our library! Students explored a variety of historical resources— including Sanborn maps, city directories, and other archival materials — and discovered how these tools can support deeper, more meaningful research. A huge thank-you to our guests for sharing their expertise💛💙

Due to inclement weather, the Taylor Co. Board of Education meeting scheduled for this evening will now be held at the BOE Central Office location (71 Utt Drive) at 6:00 p.m.
