Good evening Ritchie County staff, students, and families! This is a reminder that tomorrow, Monday, October 12, 2026 is a Professional Learning Day for our staff members.
All staff is to report to the Middle/High School.


We are aware that there is an issue with the camera for the live stream for the high school football game tonight. We have received the camera but NFHS has to come and install the new camera. There will still be the same issue with the live stream as with previous games. We are working to improve this experience!
Please share! Homecoming parade will be at 5pm and the game will begin at 7pm!
See you at the game!


All staff is to report to the Middle/High School.

Students had the opportunity to learn about a variety of academic programs, including the College of Business, College of Nursing, College of Science & Technology, College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Education, Health and Human Performance. They also enjoyed lunch in the Falcon Center dining hall, explored student amenities, toured campus, and got a glimpse into what life as a Falcon is all about.
The day wrapped up with a fun FSU trivia Kahoot, prizes for participants, and even the opportunity for students to apply to Fairmont State University!
Experiences like these help our students explore their options, envision their futures, and take the next steps toward their goals. Thank you, Fairmont State University, for a fantastic day!
