Please excuse our Progress! Monday evening, we had a ribbon cutting ceremony for our new bus garage. This newly built garage is 3,600 sq feet and features 3 wider apparatus bays for bus maintenance, workspace for equipment and repairs, equipment storage, and administrative office with a staff break room. A big thank you for the great design and project management by Williamson and Shriver Architects, Inc. Transportation building built by Jarrett Construction.

The celebration was about more than a new facility. It reflected our commitment to student safety, support for our employees, and continued progress for Ritchie County Schools.

In attendance for the event were Ritchie County Board of Education Members, Dr. Tori Jackson (President), Misti Keen (Vice President), Denny Nelson, Jason Hall, and Betsy Wells; Superintendent of Schools, April Haught; Harrisville Mayor, Allen Haught; Ritchie County Commissioners, Kenny Church and Randall Riggs; Williamson and Shriver Architects, Inc. Jason Shantie and Clifford Kay; RC Transportation Department, Pat Boone, Zach Foster, Carlos Molina , Andrews Adams, Brian McClaskey, and Rita Morton.

Dear Ritchie County Community:

Ritchie County Schools is aware of misinformation circulating on social media regarding an alleged incident involving a weapon at our high school yesterday. There was no weapon discovered at the school, there was no evidence that a student brought a weapon to school, nor was there a threat involving a weapon. Additionally, no student was escorted from the school in handcuffs.

Unfortunately, inaccurate information about the situation was subsequently shared publicly on social media. Law enforcement is aware and reviewing those public comments.

We understand that reports involving school safety understandably cause concern for families and our community, and we have protocols which include communication. Ritchie County Schools takes every report or concern seriously and follows established procedures to investigate potential threats and involve law enforcement when appropriate. At the same time, sharing unverified information on social media can create unnecessary fear and confusion for students, families, employees, and the broader community.

Our schools are safe, and there is no known threat related to this matter. We encourage all parents, students, and community members who have concerns about school safety to contact school administrators or law enforcement directly rather than relying on or spreading unverified information on social media.

The safely and well-being of our students and employees remains our highest priority.

Ritchie County Schools would like to welcome our littlest scholars to Preschool at Creed Collins Elementary and Harrisville Elementary on Monday, August 24th.

Countless smiles, new friendships, hands-on learning, and fun adventures await as our little ones take their very first steps into school life.

Let's make this a wonderful school year!
