Pleasants County Schools will be on a 2-hour delay on Monday February 23, 2026. 

We are proud to share that Pleasants County Middle School had 4 student artworks selected to represent Pleasants County in the 2026 Youth Art Month (YAM) Exhibit sponsored by the West Virginia Art Education Association! Artwork will be exhibited at the Beckley Art Center from February 21 – March 14, 2026. A special Reception & Awards Presentation will be held on March 14 at 12:00 p.m. Selected works will then travel to Charleston for the Arts Alive Event at the Cultural Center on April 14, 2026. Youth Art Month celebrates creativity, originality, and the incredible artistic talent of students across all 55 counties in West Virginia. Each county may submit only 10 works total, making this an outstanding accomplishment for our students! We are incredibly proud of our young artists! Their work represents not only our school, but the creativity and talent of Pleasants County. Congratulations and we can’t wait to see your work on display!

Thank you to the entire Transportation Department on "School Bus Driver Appreciation Day" on February 22.

Mrs. Minger’s 3rd period is putting their fraction skills to the test today! ➕➖ Students are sharpening their math minds with a fun, interactive game focused on adding and subtracting fractions. Learning + friendly competition = a winning combination! 🎉 Way to go, Minutemen—keep working hard and having fun while you learn!

Our students had an incredible experience participating in Youth & Government at the West Virginia Capitol! 🇺🇸 They had the opportunity to step inside the chambers, stand at the Speaker’s podium, and see firsthand how our state government operates. From learning about the legislative process to engaging in meaningful discussions, this experience brought civics to life in a powerful way. We are so proud of the way our students represented our school — demonstrating leadership, confidence, and a genuine interest in how government works. Experiences like this help inspire the next generation of leaders! Way to go, Minutemen! 🔵🔴

Congratulations to PCMS wrestler Bennett Leithead on an outstanding performance at the Wood County League JV Tournament! 🏆 Bennett competed hard last night and earned the title of 86 lb Champion!
