PCS Recognizes School Service Personnel Day! Thank you to our hardworking service personnel who serve the children of Pleasants County.
As part of Sandy Hook’s Start with Hello Week, SMHS art classes created uplifting and encouraging notes to spread positivity throughout the school. Students shared heartfelt messages—like “You are loved” and “There is someone in every crowd that will be happy to see you”—to remind their classmates that kindness, connection, and support are always here.
These simple but powerful notes are now displayed in restrooms as well as the locker room. The goal of these messages is to brighten someone’s day and remind us of all that small acts of kindness make a big difference. 🌟

Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for High School Juniors and Seniors (2025-2026 school year) residing in West Virginia.
The FBI CJIS Division’s Teen Academy program in Clarksburg, WV allows a diverse group of high school students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to investigate the world of law enforcement. Active explorations of information technology and forensic science grow students’ minds and bodies while age-appropriate lessons on topics such as violence prevention, sextortion, and hoax threats teach them how to stay safe. FBI staff, including special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff, lead discussions and interactive sessions focused on the work we do, how we do it, and, most importantly, why we choose this work in service of all Americans.
Any student with an interest in leadership and service is welcome to apply for this free opportunity. An interest in a law enforcement career is not a pre-requisite.
