Good evening,
On behalf of the Nicholas County Board of Education and Superintendent Beam we want to welcome you back to a new school year. We hope you've had a fantastic break and are feeling refreshed and ready to dive into another exciting school year. This year holds endless opportunities for you to explore, discover, and expand your knowledge. Our teachers and staff are here to support you every step of the way. Don't hesitate to ask questions, seek guidance, or share your ideas.
Let's make this school year memorable, inspiring, and full of accomplishments. Welcome back to school, and here's to an amazing year ahead.
Due to the National Weather Service tornado watch beginning at 3pm this evening. Today's board meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday August 10th at 6 pm. All Nicholas County Board of Education employees may go home at 2 pm today. All extra curricular activities after 2 pm are cancelled. Please be safe and take shelter.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you that may not know me. I grew up on Fenwick Mountain and attended New Hope Grade School and Richwood High School. I began my teaching career at Glade Creek Elementary School in January of 1974. I then taught two years at New Hope before getting my first principal's job at Fleger Ridge at the ripe old age of 24. After one year, I became principal at New Hope and was there for nine years before going to Keslers Cross Lanes for four years. Next, I was principal at Zela for nine years and finished my career at Panther Creek after serving as principal for nine years. I retired and then took a full time PE job at Glade Creek and Beaver. The following year, I did the same job at Mt. Nebo and Mt. Lookout. In August of 2007 I was asked to be principal at Hillsboro Elementary School in Pocahontas County for a couple of weeks until a principal could be found. I ended up remaining the principal for that year and I left Pocahontas County 14 years later after serving as superintendent the past eight years. I have been asked many times this month why I chose to take on this job with all of the controversy and issues that have taken place due to the 2016 flood. It is simple....this has been my home and I want to try and help. I have friends and family all over Nicholas County so I have no bias or hidden agendas. We have many pressing needs in our schooIs and not all of them are flood-related. We have students and employees that need our attention and support. I promise to do my best and would appreciate your patience and support as we work through this process. together. Terrence Beam, Superintendent
