WIRT COUNTY HIGH RECOGNIZED
Another small rural school was named to the Blue Ribbon Schools list last week.
At Wirt County High School, Principal Kenneth Heiney says being named a Blue Ribbon School is a real team effort.
“I think it’s just another positive step for small rural schools. We’re able to work with individuals. All the teachers know all the kids. They’re very concerned and teachers work hard. The community supports what we do.”
With just 325 students, Heiney says Wirt County High School is proof that bigger isn’t always better.
“I think with technology today that we are able to compete in rural communities with larger schools.”
Heiney says they take advantage of virtual classroom technology and computers to give students an A-plus education.
Both principals and one teacher from each school will be traveling to Washington D.C. in November to receive their Blue Ribbon Award.
