Our National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony was held this afternoon, and we’re proud to announce that 27 outstanding seventh graders were officially inducted into the TCMS chapter. These students will serve as NJHS members during their 8th grade year, upholding the core values that are the foundation of the NJHS pledge: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and Character.
A special thank you to Mrs. Strode, our NJHS Advisor, for organizing such a meaningful ceremony to honor these high-achieving students and their commitment to excellence both in and out of the classroom. #KnightsPride
Our TCMS Lady Knights Softball team spent the day exploring Ohio University's campus in Athens, OH! They learned about student life at OU, college admissions, and what it means to be a Bobcat! From a Q&A with the OU softball coaches to a behind-the-scenes tour of athletic facilities, a campus tour, and an admissions session, it was an incredible opportunity to see what life after high school can look like.
The girls wrapped up the day with lunch in uptown Athens and will finish strong by cheering on the Ohio University Bobcats vs. The Ohio State University Buckeyes tonight at the softball game!
Big thanks to the OU staff for hosting and inspiring our student-athletes, and thank you to Coach Farrell and Coach Henthorn for organizing this valuable learning experience! #KnightsPride

We are proud to recognize Patrick Jones and Damien Dawson as Tyler Consolidated Middle School’s 2025 Golden Horseshoe winners.
The Golden Horseshoe is one of West Virginia’s most prestigious academic honors, awarded to eighth-grade students who demonstrate exceptional knowledge of our state’s history, government, and culture. Established in 1931, this tradition celebrates students who exemplify academic excellence and a deep understanding of West Virginia’s heritage.
On June 10, 2025, Patrick and Damien will represent TCMS in Charleston, WV, at the Golden Horseshoe Ceremony—a tradition that honors young scholars who have shown exceptional knowledge of our state. With a ceremonial sword tap, they’ll join the ranks of students across nearly a century who have made their mark on West Virginia history through academic distinction.
We also want to recognize the dedication of their West Virginia Studies teacher, Mr. Underwood, whose passion for our state’s history and commitment to preparing students for this opportunity continues to inspire excellence year after year!

Huge thanks to Tiffany King and Debbie Northcraft with Union Bank who came in to talk with our Discover Your Future classes today. They learned about different types of jobs the banks offer and education needed for the jobs, important info about finances, and got to learn how to fill out a check!
Mr. Weekley visited Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Shortridges sixth grade science classrooms today to discuss communication. He demonstrated how fiber optic cable works. He demonstrated slicing and fusing fibers. He ended his discussion by letting the students use hand held radios to compare analog and digital signals. Thank you, Mr. Weekley!
Our 7th grade students had an amazing day last Friday full of adventure and fun!
They kicked off the day exploring the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge – Middle Island and picking out sweet treats at Smith Candy in St. Marys. Afterward, they enjoyed a delicious lunch at Dairy Queen in Sistersville before wrapping up the day visiting a variety of animals at Olive Branch Animal Rescue & Refuge, Inc.
What a memorable field trip filled with learning, laughter, and lots of smiles! A big thank you to our fantastic bus driver as well, Mr. Wells!

Congratulations to the Tyler Consolidated Middle School Bands — the 6th Grade Band and the 7th & 8th Grade Band — for earning Superior ratings from all three adjudicators at the 81st Region I Band Festival.
Each ensemble’s overall rating is determined through evaluation in five distinct subcategories for each selection performed. To provide further insight into this process, an example of one adjudicator’s evaluation for the 6th Grade Band is included below.
This outstanding accomplishment is a reflection of the students’ dedication, discipline, and commitment to musical excellence. The long-standing tradition of superior performance within the Tyler Consolidated Band Program continues, and these students are to be highly commended for their exceptional effort and achievement.
Their hard work and preparation were clearly evident in today’s performances, and the results speak for themselves.
Due to a statewide Internet outage, phones at SES and AIB are down. Please call 304-758-9000 if you need to contact one of those schools.
