In a combined effort of the JMTC Carpentry and Law and Public Safety Classes, an honor wall, of first responder patches, was developed and created as a class project. "This Honor Wall was made possible by donations from Men and Women around the state, nation, world and the Sheriff of Monroe County, Sheriff Michael J. Heller." We are extremely thankful for the donations and hard work each student and teacher has put in to make this wall possible.

She will be attending the training session at the ISTE Conference in San Antonio, TX June 29-July 2. The International Society for Technology in Education focuses on accelerating innovation in education through the smart use of technology in education.

Mrs. Cottle has a passion for using educational technology to personalize and enhance learning, increase engagement, meet students' needs, and prepare students for future careers. In addition, she enjoys taking on new challenges and learning new ways to improve education in Monroe County and across West Virginia.
Last year, Monroe County Schools became a Code.org District. A Code.org District is a champion for expanding computer science education access and participation for all students. The Code.org Districts in WV are: Calhoun, Fayette, Monroe, Raleigh, and Roane County Schools.
Code.org® is an education innovation nonprofit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education. Their free computer science curriculum expands access to computer science in schools, with a focus on increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups.
CodeWV is a partnership of West Virginia University, the West Virginia Department of Education, Code.org and Apple committed to expanding computer science education across all K-12 public schools in West Virginia. By preparing educators to teach age-appropriate curriculum to students, CodeWV aims to impact hundreds of local students year after year with access to computer science.
CodeWV meets the guidelines of the West Virginia Department of Education's computer science plan, the West Virginia College and Career Readiness Standards for Technology and Computer Science, which went into effect in July 2019.
