Update: Power was restored to SMHS late this morning. Our battery backups were able to prevent loss of phone and internet service while the power was off.

Due to a loss of power at SMHS, Pleasants County Schools will be without phone and internet beginning sometime this morning. This outage could last from several hours to 1-1½ days. Service will be restored as soon as the power issue is resolved.

On this date in 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the flag. Both President Wilson, in 1916, and President Coolidge, in 1927, issued proclamations asking for June 14 to be observed as the National Flag Day. It wasn't until August 3, 1949, that Congress approved the national observance and President Truman signed it into law.


Dear Community- during the months of June and July we will have a large number of our students attending summer academic programs and many more stopping by our schools for the summer food program and other “drop-in” services.
Please exercise caution when driving near bus stops and near the schools as we will have students coming to the schools by bus, by car, and by walking.
Thank you!


In honor of Memorial Day, offices and schools will be closed on Monday, May 30.

Also, as a reminder for new medications next school year: the doctor medication order form can be printed off from the school webpage under the school nurse tab. A new form needs to be filled out each school year. Please call the school with any questions.

We would like to recognize Ms. Field and Ms. Davis, the Speech Pathologists for our county for 2022 National Speech Pathologist Appreciation Day!
