Important Message to Students and Families:
Mercer County Public Schools would like to proactively address a potential concern as we approach the end of the school year. In some areas, students participate in games that involve water guns. We want to be clear that any item that could be mistaken for a weapon is taken very seriously under district policy.
Our safety systems, including cameras, actively monitor activity across our campuses, and certain situations may result in notification to law enforcement.
While we understand these games may be intended as harmless fun, they are not school-sponsored or school-approved activities. Students should not bring water guns or similar items onto school property. Doing so may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion, which could also impact participation in graduation ceremonies.
In addition, Mercer County Public Schools does not permit pranks or activities that may disrupt the school environment, cause damage, or create safety concerns. While end-of-year traditions are often meant to be lighthearted, all students are expected to conduct themselves in a way that is respectful, responsible, and aligned with school expectations.
Please remember that all school grounds—including parking lots and athletic facilities—are considered school property and fall under these expectations.
We want our students to enjoy this exciting time of year, but safety must remain our top priority. We ask all students to make responsible choices and follow Mercer County Schools policies.
Thank you for your cooperation.

🎉 Congratulations to our two Montcalm High School Robotics Teams for an outstanding performance at the 2026 West Virginia State Championship – VEX V5 Robotics Competition! 🤖
While it is bittersweet to see the season come to an end, our teams have learned so much and accomplished some truly amazing things along the way. Both teams competed at a very high level, with one team advancing to the finals and the other reaching the quarterfinals. Even more impressive, both teams finished in the Top 20 in the state! 👏
A special shoutout to Fire Hydrolics, who proudly brought home a trophy from this year’s competition the Sportsmanship Award! 🏆 This award reflects the character, teamwork, and respect our students demonstrate both on and off the field.
If you see members of these two teams out and about, be sure to congratulate them and let them know how proud you are of their hard work and dedication!

📚✨ 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.

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.
