Meet Ritchie County High School's new principal, Mr. Chris Wells.


Congrats to the 2023 @CollegeBoard’s National Recognition Program awardees, Hayden Bartlett and Ada Chen. They are two of 72,000 students from across the country who earned academic honors from College Board’s National Recognition Programs! They received the National Rural and Small Town Award. The National Recognition Programs honor the strong academic achievements of underrepresented students, and it's an easy way for students to showcase their hard work in high school. The programs not only benefit students, but also benefit colleges looking to recruit diverse, talented students.




Here's what's happening this week at Ritchie County High School.
