Congratulations to Mr. Chad Thompson for being named our Service Personnel of the Year.
🎉 Congratulations to our two Montcalm High School Robotics Teams for an outstanding performance at the 2026 West Virginia State Championship – VEX V5 Robotics Competition! 🤖
While it is bittersweet to see the season come to an end, our teams have learned so much and accomplished some truly amazing things along the way. Both teams competed at a very high level, with one team advancing to the finals and the other reaching the quarterfinals. Even more impressive, both teams finished in the Top 20 in the state! 👏
A special shoutout to Fire Hydrolics, who proudly brought home a trophy from this year’s competition the Sportsmanship Award! 🏆 This award reflects the character, teamwork, and respect our students demonstrate both on and off the field.
If you see members of these two teams out and about, be sure to congratulate them and let them know how proud you are of their hard work and dedication!
