“The Maverick” 106.7 WHFI
The student government at James Monroe High School wished to see a change in the school’s radio station. 2023-2024 SGA President, Cole Thomas, led an initiative to try and bring two schools under one umbrella through the radio station. Acting on the students’ behalf, Mr. Thomas asked the board to consider rebranding the station. The students wished to see the radio station branded as “The Maverick”. After board approval on May 30, 2024, the radio station will be using the slogan 106.7 “The Maverick”. Please be patient as proper changes are made.

Congratulations to PMS Future Business Leader of America member, Nevaeh Shelton, who won first place in the WV SIFMA Foundation Stock Market Game Year Long Middle School category.
The Stock Market Game allows students to delve into the intricate world of stock trading by investing a virtual $100,000 in real-time stock markets.
Nevaeh, one of only two girls in Peterstown’s FBLA club, said “I’m going to beat all these boys” at the beginning of the year and she kept her promise, beating her peers locally and across the state.

The 2024 James Monroe High School Graduation will be tonight at the H.E. Comer Jr. Sports Complex at 7:00. Currently, we plan to have the ceremony outside. If we would get lightening, everyone will need to return to their vehicles, students will return to the band room and if anyone that doesn’t have a vehicle, they may come to the commons area at the school.
The gates will be open at 6:00 and handicap parking will be up at the football field. First come, first served.
PES third graders had a book camp out for their “field trip”. They built forts, had s’mores, and every student left with new books. They spent their day reading by the fake smart board fire and finding a new world to explore in a book.
