It’s been an amazing start to the 2026-2027 school year!
Superintendent Ed Toman spent the day visiting each of our middle and high schools, checking in with principals, staff, and, most importantly, our students!
Strong leadership from our principals and the hard work of our teachers and staff have helped set a positive tone for the year ahead. Mr. Toman enjoyed seeing our schools in action, visiting with students, and experiencing the energy and excitement happening across Mercer County Public Schools.
We’re off to a great start, and we can’t wait to see what this year brings! #ilovewvpublicschools @wveducation
