Tonight, we are proud to recognize three outstanding individuals who represent the very best of Hampshire County Schools.

Our Service Personnel of the Year, Samantha Wood from South Branch Elementary School, is a vital part of what makes her school run smoothly. Her reliability, positive attitude, and willingness to step in wherever needed do not go unnoticed. She plays a key role in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for both students and staff.

Our Teacher of the Year, Sydney Haupt from Hampshire High School, continues to set the standard for excellence in the classroom. Her dedication to students, commitment to high-quality instruction, and ability to build meaningful relationships make a lasting impact each and every day. She does not just teach content, she inspires students to think, grow, and succeed.

Our Principal of the Year, Nicole Morris from South Branch Elementary School, is an exceptional leader who puts students first in every decision she makes. Her leadership has built a strong school culture focused on growth, collaboration, and success. She supports her staff, connects with her students, and leads with purpose and integrity.

These three individuals go above and beyond in their roles, and we are incredibly fortunate to have them serving our students and community.

Please join us in congratulating them on this well-deserved recognition.

The Hampshire County Board of Education will meet tonight, April 21, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the BOE Office in Augusta.

Please plan accordingly for student pick-up, meet students at the bus stop 3 hours early, and any afternoon transportation needs.

There was a misprint in last week’s newspaper regarding the school schedule. Hampshire County Schools will operate on a regular schedule on Monday, March 16.

Students and staff should report at their normal time. Thank you for helping share the correct information with others in the community.

Families and guardians are invited to participate in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey. This survey provides an opportunity for you to share your thoughts about the school environment and your experiences with the school. Your feedback helps school and district leaders better understand what is working well and where improvements can be made to support students and families.

Participation in the survey is voluntary, and all responses are anonymous and confidential. The survey should only take a few minutes to complete.

We encourage all guardians to take a moment to complete the survey by Wednesday, March 18. Your input is an important part of helping us continue to build a strong and supportive learning environment for all students.

The survey link and instructions are included below.
