About Us:

The Construction of the school was completed in September of 1963. It was first renovated in 1968 when the Little Theater was added. The second renovation came about when Kanawha County Schools implemented the middle school concept in the summer of 1991. A Commons Area and classrooms were added at this time as well as additions to the library. Nine portables were placed back of the school to handle the addition of 9th graders. 

The Flood of 1997, which washed away part of the bank behind the school and put three inches of water throughout the building, brought about the renovation of our gym and some of our portables. Another flood occurred in the summer of 1998 and resulted in some minor damage to the gym floor. A new auxiliary gym was added in 2002.

The library was again renovated in 1998 to make room for one of the new WV Success Computer Labs (Room 2001). Other Labs were added later bringing the total labs to seven. A Distance Learning Lab was implemented in 2003.

In 2001 the county removed three of the nine portables. Two more portables were moved during the summer of 2002, and an additional two were removed in 2006. The remaining portables are used for the Air Force Junior ROTC program.
