Out of an abundance of caution, all students and staff have been moved outside of the building due to a smell of gas detected in one area of the facility at the Career Tech Center.

The Welch Gas Company is currently on campus conducting an inspection to ensure everything is safe.

All students are safe with their teaching staff and administration.

We will provide updates as soon as more information is available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of everyone on campus.

💚 Showing Our Support 💚 Our hearts go out to our neighbors in Mercer County Schools, who this weekend lost one of their beloved principals Bluefield Middle School - Principal Kim Miller to a courageous fight with cancer. To honor her memory and show our support, we ask for everyone to wear green tomorrow on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. Let’s come together as a community to remember, support, and stand with our neighbors. We know her students and staff are hurting and we want to show them that we are supporting them from next door. 💚 #MercerCountyStrong #InMemory #CommunitySupport #WearGreen

📢 Transportation Update for Families
For the safety of all students, we will no longer be able to accept bus notes requesting that children ride home with friends or to locations other than their home address. Students will only be permitted to ride the bus to and from their assigned stop. We understand this may be an adjustment for some families, but this change is necessary to ensure accurate records, meet seating requirements, consistent routes, and the safety of every child on board. *We will approve shared custody notes. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep our transportation system safe and reliable. 🚌💛

To celebrate his life and the impact he had on our community, we ask everyone wear yellow, black, and white tomorrow.
