Mrs. Gibbs' 7th grade class at Vinson Middle School is taking a look at the events of 9/11. Students are analyzing primary source documents and investigating artifacts from this time period. Having a hands on history lesson allows students to gain a deeper understanding of what happened on 9/11.
Tolsia High School is one of 38 schools in West Virginia to be recognized by College for West Virginia (CFWV) as a 2022 Champion of College Access and Success. CFWV coordinates three annual college-planning milestones to help students in West Virginia plan their pathway to education or training beyond high school. High schools have to successfully participate in all three pathways and meet other criteria to be recognized. Congratulations to Tolsia High School Counselor Brittany Wallace and her entire team for earning this recognition. Way to go Rebels!
