Big kids. Little kids. One Black Eagle family. 🧡🖤

South Charleston High School’s Legacy Day brought SCHS seniors and kindergarten students from the feeder area together on the football field for a morning full of high fives, fist bumps, hugs, games, and a whole lot of smiles.

The seniors started on one end. The kindergarteners started on the other. They met in the middle for a sweet reminder of where the journey begins and where it can lead.

The kindergarteners left with new shirts, new memories, and a glimpse of what they’re working toward.

The seniors left with a chance to encourage the next generation, and remember when they were the little ones dreaming big.

A pretty great day to be a Black Eagle.

Capital High School seniors signed academic letters of intent to continue their education at Marshall University next year.

CHS and Marshall University held a special signing event at the school, giving students the chance to celebrate this milestone with Marshall representatives, family, friends, and classmates by their side.

It was such a cool moment...not just because of where these students are headed, but because of everything it represents: hard work, support, opportunity, and the start of their next journey.

Congratulations to these Capital Cougars! 💙💚

Teamwork ✅
Confidence ✅
Leadership that keeps getting stronger ✅

That’s what South Charleston High School students have been building this year through the Dow Leadership Institute.

Throughout the program, students worked with Dow mentors, took on creative challenges, practiced communication and problem-solving, explored career skills, and pushed themselves in new ways.

Watching students build confidence and grow into young leaders has been incredible.

Thank you to Dow for partnering with KCS and investing in our students.

Great work, SCHS! 👏

With a heart for helping students have shoes that feel fresh, personal, and affordable.

From more than 70 business ideas across West Virginia to the finals stage in Morgantown, Parker showed what can happen when creativity gets moving.

Each year, KCS holds a public budget hearing to review the proposed budget, explain key funding pieces, and give families, staff, and community members an opportunity to ask questions, share comments, and learn more about the process.

School funding includes many different sources, and some dollars come with specific rules for how they can be used. That’s why the public hearing is an important opportunity to hear the details directly and better understand the budget.

Spring learning, KCS Virtual style. 🌸

Students in the KCS Virtual Program recently got together for a hands-on lesson with pinto beans, wheatgrass and pencil-top flowers.
A fun reminder that virtual school doesn’t have to mean doing school completely on your own.

🛜 KCS Virtual students learn in a flexible online setting, but they also have optional chances throughout the year to meet up for lessons, field trips and other activities with classmates and teachers.

For some students, a different learning style or schedule makes all the difference. KCS Virtual gives families that option while keeping students connected to Kanawha County Schools. 🌱

🏛️✨ A Day at the Museum

History was alive today at Central Elementary.
3rd grade students turned their classrooms into a Wax Museum,
bringing some of history’s most important figures to life.

After researching their person, writing a biography, and memorizing it, students dressed the part and stepped into character.
Visitors could press a small red button on each student’s hand… and just like that,

🟢 Theodore Roosevelt
🟢 Harriet Tubman
🟢 Milton Hershey
🟢 Amelia Earhart
🟢 & many more

shared their stories.

It’s the kind of lesson that sticks...learning history, building confidence, and practicing public speaking, all while having a blast.
This museum was full of life! 🏛️✨

KCS Spring 2026 Summative Assessment Calendar. Digital SAT School Day is April 15th, 2026 for 11th grade students. WV Alternate Summative Assessment is April 13 through May 15 for 3rd though 8th grade and 11th grade. WV General Summative Assessment is May 4-May 22 for 3rd through 8th grade and 11th grade. Good Luck.

This school year, students in grades 3–12 will take part in an online safety lesson during the school day.

This comes from a West Virginia law (SB 466) passed in 2024, which requires all schools to provide this type of instruction and to use a state-approved platform. For our students, that platform is CyberSWAT/SKYLL.

The lessons are designed to help students better understand situations they may face online:

🔹 Protect their personal information
🔹 Recognize unsafe situations online
🔹 Avoid scams and manipulation
🔹Know when to reach out to a trusted adult
🔹Students will move through interactive, scenario-based experiences, referred to as stories.

Grades 3–5: Realm Quest
Grades 6–12: Miss Informed

We do want families to be aware that some of the situations presented in these lessons are more serious in nature and may introduce topics that you may prefer to approach in your own way or on your own timeline.

Because of that, we encourage families to review the materials ahead of time.

You can see what topics will be covered in the course and read a breakdown of each story in the parent guide,
https://wveis.k12.wv.us/cyberswat

While this instruction is required under state law, families do have the option to choose an alternative lesson for their child. The opt out form is available in the parent guide.

A screenshot of the online safety course that West Virginia students must take. The course is set up as a game that allows students to make choices based on certain events. In this picture, the teacher in the game says, "It is when someone makes a fake message that looks real to trick you into giving up personal information." Below that quote block is two responses for students to pick from. The first says, "So the secret server was bait?" and the second says, " That's so sneaky. It looked totally real!"
