📚✨ Golden Horseshoe Test on March 10, 2026, ✨📚
All eighth-grade students are required to take the Golden Horseshoe Test on March 10, 2026.
While it’s a competition, it also fulfills the social studies testing requirement under W.Va. State Code §18-2-9.
Last year, for the first time in more than a decade, MHS celebrated two Golden Horseshoe winners.
That’s a remarkable academic achievement, and we’re aiming even higher this year. Let’s build on that momentum.
Important details: This is a multiple-choice test that will be given at school on March 10, 2026.
Parents, please encourage and support our students to begin preparing now.
