Mr. David Richmond's Law and Public Safety students at MCTC have been learning to safely restrain offenders/inmates. The smiles and laughter make it apparent that this is one of their favorite lessons so
6th and 7th grade students from both Mountain View and Peterstown attended a Gear Up Souther West Virginia launch event at the Raleigh County Convention Center. Best-selling author, successful entrepreneur, and student success thought leader, EJ Carrion, was the event’s keynote speaker. We would also like to recognize two students, Macy Pitzer and Dylan Reece for winning a $500 scholarship to Concord University!

James Monroe High School parents, the lockdown has been lifted. Buses will run on regular schedule. If you would like to pick up your child early you may do so from 2:00 to 3:00. If your child drives to school and you would like them released early you may call the school at this time to inform them of the early release.
Today, we inform parents, staff, and students that we recovered a gun on the campus of the Monroe County Technical Center. It is important to us that we clearly communicate with you about serious safety issues when they arise. Administration immediately initiated and followed all appropriate procedures at the school level, including a “lock down.” Possessing a weapon at school is clearly a violation of law and we have zero tolerance for this act. We expect to see criminal charges in addition to school imposed disciplinary measures. The student involved will be subject to school board policy and appropriate laws that govern weapons on school grounds, which is a zero acceptable possession policy. Today’s incident highlights the essential role students and all members of the school community play in school safety. Anyone with pertinent or concerning information should report it immediately to administration or law enforcement. As the school system says time after time, student and staff safety continues to be the most important part of our jobs. While this incident is unquestionably concerning, the school system will continue to be vigilant in ensuring student and staff safety.
This morning it was reported that a student had a weapon on the campus of the Monroe County Technical Center. A lockdown was immediately called for the Technical Center and James Monroe. The student is in custody of law enforcement and the situation is being investigated. All staff and students are safe. The campus is still on lockdown for precaution.
