Inspired by Tom Dempsey, known for kicking a 63-yard field goal in 1970 and missing all of his toes on his right foot, students in Mrs. Wright’s classes worked collaboratively to engineer their own projectile launcher, or “kicker.” Students then participated in a competition to see who could make the most out of 3 shots. Thank you to Melissa Bane and STEAMTac at West Virginia University for providing this experience for our students!

We are incredibly proud of our students who are representing Tyler Consolidated Middle School at the Youth and Government Seminar in Charleston, WV. They had the unique opportunity to sit in the Supreme Court of West Virginia with Justice Charles S. Trump IV and meet with West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey. This experience allowed them to engage with state leaders, learn about government processes, and develop leadership skills that will benefit them for years to come. Congratulations to the following students for their dedication and enthusiasm in learning about our state government: Gavin Previtera, Kaylin Eastham, Maddox Blair, and Emma Cooper!
Congratulations to Mrs. Suter, Tyler Consolidated Middle School’s 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year!
As a dedicated math teacher, Mrs. Suter empowers students to embrace challenges with confidence, fostering a growth mindset that leads to deeper understanding and long-term success.

Our TASK students have been hard at work growing fresh lettuce in our hydroponic towers, and today their efforts paid off in a big way. They sold their homegrown lettuce to the Tyler County Schools nutrition program, and it was served on the salad bar during both middle and high school lunches. It’s exciting to see students engaged in hands-on learning that directly benefits our school community. Great job to everyone involved in making this project a success!
