From the Desk of Superintendent Dr. Leatha Williams:
Today is a moment of pride for all of us across Pocahontas County. We are excited to share that Pocahontas County Schools has moved up several positions in the rankings and is now ranked #9 in West Virginia, placing us among the Top 10 school districts in the state! 🎉🏆
This accomplishment reflects the collective efforts of our entire community. Just one year ago, our district was working through state intervention status. Today, we are celebrating a Top 10 ranking. That kind of progress does not happen by chance. It happens when students, educators, staff, families, community partners, and residents come together with a shared commitment to helping our children succeed.
Every student who worked hard, every teacher who inspired learning, every staff member who supported our schools, every parent who encouraged their child, and every community member who invested in our future helped make this achievement possible. This recognition belongs to all of us.
As we celebrate, it is important to note that this ranking data is different from our Accountability Data. Accountability measures exclude students who were not enrolled for the full academic year, while this ranking includes students who were assessed in our school system. As a result, the two measures should not be viewed as interchangeable.
Even with that distinction, this achievement is worth celebrating. It demonstrates the dedication, perseverance, and teamwork that can be found throughout Pocahontas County. It is a reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together on behalf of our students.
While we are proud of how far we have come, we are equally excited about where we are headed. The progress we have made over the past year shows that there is no limit to what our schools and communities can achieve together.
🏆 Proud of Our Progress. Grateful for Our Community.
⭐ Working Together for Student Success.
🚀 The Best Is Yet to Come!

Pocahontas County Schools would like to remind families that students entering 7th and 12th grades are required to provide proof of the following immunizations before attending school:
✅ Tdap Vaccine
✅ Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine
These vaccines help protect students from serious vaccine-preventable diseases, including bacterial meningitis and pertussis (whooping cough).
Please ensure your student has received these immunizations and that documentation has been submitted prior to the start of the school year. Students who have not met these requirements may not be permitted to attend school until documentation is provided.
Families may obtain these vaccines through their primary care provider or the Pocahontas County Health Department.
