Dear Parents and Guardians,
The safety of our students and staff is our number one priority. To ensure everyone is prepared in the event of an emergency, we will be conducting an Active Shooter Drill on Monday, September 29, 2025, at Nicholas County High School. This drill will occur during the normal hours of the school day in collaboration with Nicholas County Homeland Security, Summersville Police Department, Nicholas County Sherriff Department, WV State Police, local fire and ems.
The drill is a critical part of our comprehensive safety plan and is treated with the same importance as our fire and other emergency drills. By practicing these procedures, we can help our students and staff feel confident and prepared to act decisively should a real emergency occur.
During the drill, students will practice our established response protocol, such as the "Lockdown" or "Run, Hide, Fight" procedures. We want to assure you that the drill will be conducted with extreme sensitivity and will be age-appropriate for all students. There will be no simulated gunfire or other realistic, high-stress simulations that could cause undue anxiety. Students will be informed in advance that this is only a practice drill.
We encourage you to use this opportunity to have an open and calm conversation with your child about the importance of school safety and following the directions of school staff.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our schools a safe place to learn and thrive.
Sincerely – The Nicholas County Board of Education
There will be no Preschool today for Cherry Ruver Elementary.

There will be no school for Pre-K students at Cherry River Elementary School today.
In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, I would like to thank all of our teachers for their dedication to our students. Our profession is not always easy, but yet our teachers put the needs of the students as their priority with little fanfare and far too little appreciation. Please take the time to thank your child's teachers for all that they do. In a world of uncertainty, one thing you can count on is that teachers genuinely care about kids. I, for one, appreciate them all! Thank you!
Terrence Beam, Superintendent
Bus Driver Class!!
