When the final bell rings, learning and preparation continue across all Pleasants County Schools. While students enjoy a well-earned summer break, our teachers and staff are busy participating in professional learning, developing curriculum, and preparing for the year ahead. Almost as soon as one school year ends, planning begins for the next. Throughout the summer, our maintenance, custodial, and administrative teams work tirelessly to ensure our schools are clean, safe, and ready to welcome students back for another successful year.
