Yearbook spring supplements are here! They will be distributed in the cafeteria tomorrow and Thursday from 10 - 11:30. Supplements are the last 28 pages of the yearbook, covering spring sports and activities. Anyone who purchased a yearbook should plan to pick up their spring supplement (if you didn't pay to have it shipped directly to your home). Supplements will also be distributed in August during Open House and during the first week of school.
There are also a few extra yearbooks still available for purchase. Cost is $75, cash or check to PHS.
If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Koreski via Schoology.

Wood County Schools will continue to closely monitor conditions related to the Peoples Cartage Warehouse fire and any potential impact on our school campuses. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and we will continue working with local and state agencies to evaluate conditions and provide updates if necessary.
We appreciate the patience, understanding, and support of our families throughout this situation and look forward to welcoming students back to our summer programs on Wednesday.
The upgrades to the High School CTE Program are outstanding! The new layout clearly highlights available programs, courses, embedded credits, dual credit opportunities, and even potential career paths and earning potential. It’s a fantastic resource for students exploring their future.
📣 Students: We strongly encourage you to consider enrolling in programs at WCTC!
I’ll be sharing updates on program seat availability throughout the summer. Many programs are already full, so don’t wait if you’re interested.
If you’d like more information, please reach out to Dr. Hughes or send the Parkersburg High School office a message through Schoology—we’re happy to help point you in the right direction!

Students have received an email in their Wood County Schools student email account containing a personalized link to access their GSA score reports. Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with their child to retrieve the email and review the results together.
The score report provides detailed information about your child's performance and can help identify academic strengths as well as areas for continued growth.
If your child cannot locate the email or is experiencing difficulty accessing their score report, please contact your child's school for assistance.
We encourage all families to review these results and discuss them with their child as part of supporting continued academic success.
We’re excited to share that graduation will be held outdoors on Stadium Field, so tickets will not be required for entry!
