It is the school my kids went to and now grandchild attends. It is a small school and everyone knows everyone and there is more one on one attention to the students here and it is in our hometown, but with it being a small school in the county of course the biggest school that is in New Martinsville, WV gets all the technology 1st and ours gets what is left. The schools can't be combined due to the distance each school takes in. Our school could use all the help it can get to keep up with the technology of the larger schools.
