Hello, this is Kenny DeMoss, Principal of Parkersburg High School with an important message to all staff, students, and parents. The Salvation Army is in desperate need of brand new bath towels. PHS is constantly looking for ways to serve our community. Starting Monday, 2/8, will start our TOWEL DRIVE. 1st period classes will be collecting brand new bath towels from M-Tr. At the end of the week, Student Council will help facilitate the pickup and delivery of the towels to the Salvation Army. The homeroom that collects the most towels will receive a prize! Please only donate a brand new bath towel. If you are a community member just willing to help, please just take your donation to the Salvation Army. We appreciate your assistance in helping with our community. Our goal is 500 towels!
This message is for students who completed West Virginia Learns Virtual School first semester. Their grades will be mailed separately showing what they earned the first semester.

Good evening. I am not a heat expert by any means, but here is what I’ve been told or I know about today’s issues. Nowadays, everything runs off the internet. Last night there was a “boiler update” through the internet. The update caused the error. With the internet down this morning, the boilers couldn’t be fixed, the phones couldn’t be answered, and the doors couldn’t be electronically unlocked. Combine all of that with a cold day, we had to make a call to remote learn today. Since this morning, everything has been addressed. Traditionally our 100+ year old school runs a little cold anyways, so when it’s chilly outside you need to dress warm because you still might need that extra layer inside until you warm up. Thank you for being flexible today! We will see you tomorrow! Everything is working now!
