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.

Montcalm High School Junior and Parents,
The homeroom teachers sent students home with calendar fundraisers for prom. It works by picking a day, then donating that amount (example Dec. 5th = $5). If everyone participates, it would be greatly appreciated and we would already have a surplus for prom.
Doing this fundraiser can also earn you a discount for prom:
-$150 raised = $10 off prom ($50 a ticket)
-$300 raised = $20 off prom ($40 a ticket)
If you need another copy, ask your homeroom teacher or Chase Gilbert.
Also, we still have beef sticks if you wish to sell those to help out. $2 per beef stick.
The winter dance on December 5th, also help towards prom. Tickets will be only $5 for the dance.
Softball and basketball concessions will also go towards prom. Parents can donate chips, water, Gatorade, etc. or provide help if they would like.
Juniors! Support Your Class!!!
