Yesterday, the PCMS eighth grade class visited St. Marys High School and Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute to tour the campuses and learn about the many courses, career pathways, and programs available to them next year and throughout their high school journey. Students had the opportunity to explore future educational opportunities and begin thinking about plans for life after middle school! 💜💛










🎉 PCMS celebrated our PBIS fourth nine weeks reward day with a fun-filled school dance! Students had a great time celebrating their hard work, positive behavior, and success throughout the grading period. 💃🕺
A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for hosting this event and helping make the day so special for our students! ❤️💙










Students who earned 100 or more AR points this school year were rewarded with a book of their choice and a movie viewing and snacks in the auditorium. We are so proud of their dedication and love for reading!

Thank you to the West Virginia Treasury Department for hosting the Get a Life program for our Pleasants County Middle School students today! 💙❤️
Get a Life is an interactive financial literacy program that gives students a hands-on look at real-world budgeting and money management. Students are assigned a career, salary, and family scenario, then work through everyday expenses such as housing, transportation, food, childcare, and savings. The activity helps students better understand the importance of financial planning, decision-making, and preparing for the future.
A special thank you as well to the many volunteers from our community who helped make this event possible. We appreciate you taking the time to invest in and encourage our students through this valuable experience!




PCMS was excited to welcome the 4th grade classes from SMES and BES for Step Up Day today! We loved getting to meet our future Minutemen ❤️💙 Welcome to PCMS!
