This is a reminder that there is no school on Tuesday, November 8th for Election Day and on Friday, November 11th for Veterans Day.
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour on Saturday night before going to bed. Daylight Saving Time concludes at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, when the clock will “fall back” one hour and in theory we get one extra hour of sleep.
November Reminders!
It’s National School Bus Safety Week and we had two bus operators take part in visiting WSIS and WES to speak to the students about being safe getting on and off the bus, bus rules, and being responsible and safe bus riders.
This is a reminder that there is a scheduled 2hr early dismissal for students on Friday, October 7th and there is no school for students on Monday, October 10th for staff professional learning. Thank you.
October Reminders!
Carrie Holloway is honored and humbled to be joining Berkeley Springs High School as an Assistant Principal. This is her tenth year in education and is most recently coming from Berkeley County where she served as an Educator, New Teacher Mentor, and ran Athletics for Spring Mills Middle School while also coaching Track & Field and Boys Soccer for Spring Mills High School.
Holloway’s education experience started at Bethel Masters Commission where she earned a Leadership Development certificate while also traveling on an international motivational speaking team. She finished her Bachelor’s in Youth Ministry at the University of Valley Forge and worked in ministry positions until transitioning to the corporate world. This reminded Holloway of her true passion for mentoring, so she returned to school and earned her teaching credentials through Shenandoah University then her Masters in Educational Leadership from Regent University.
Holloway is looking forward to becoming a part of the Berkeley Springs community and cheering on our students as they mature into their futures. LET'S GO INDIANS!!!
The BSHS XC teachers team challenge you all to participate in the OPEN RACE that will take place at the end of our HS Invitational at Cacapon State Park on Saturday September, 17th, 2022.
In this open race you can participate individually or by teams. It would be wonderful if each school fielded a different team. Imagine the motivation we would give our students if they could see adult teams from PPS, PVES, WES, WSIS, WSMS, BSHS and the BOE!
Teams consist of between 4 and 7 people. The first 4 of each team score. Among these 4 there must be at least one woman.
Each team must wear an identifying shirt/uniform.
We will donate the majority of the proceeds to the BSHS Athletic Boosters.
We hope to see you there! More information can be found on the website at:

Similar delays could last the first few days of school. We appreciate your patience as we work to get everyone where they need to go.
Today, Morgan County Staff welcome back students for the first day of school. We want to wish all of our students an amazing first day.
