A big congratulations to Lauren Prince, who came closest to Mrs. Mooney’s answer with a guess of 5,322 reams of paper!
The correct answer? 5,340 reams stacked from the bottom of the New River Gorge all the way to the bridge. 📄
Lauren, your math paid off! Just give your name at the gate Friday night and you’ll receive FREE admission for two to our home football game. ❤️🏈🖤
Thanks to everyone who did some math and played along with us, and thanks to Mrs. Mooney's Algebra I class for showing us how much fun math can be! 📐

Learning looks different from class to class — and sometimes the most important work is happening in the student-led conversation. 🗣️
Students in Ms. Fitzgerald’s class put their communication skills to the test with activities designed to show just how much clear directions, careful listening, and teamwork matter. In one challenge, one student had to describe an image while a partner attempted to draw it without seeing the original. In another, groups worked together to build a sentence one word at a time — with one catch: no talking allowed! The results made one thing pretty clear: clear communication is a lot harder than it looks.
Meanwhile, students in Ms. Thompson’s World Studies class are taking storytelling far beyond Greek mythology. After studying Greek myths, students are researching stories rooted in Appalachian culture, urban legends, and even fairy tales — looking not only at what the stories are, but what they teach us, why cultures continue to tell them, and the impact those stories have had on society.
From figuring out how we communicate to exploring the stories civilizations pass from one generation to the next, our students are digging into one of the most human things we do: sharing ideas and making meaning together. ❤️🖤 #OAKstrong

Our seniors had a chance to see how elections work up close today! Fayette County Clerk Michelle Holly and Elections Assistant Barbara Lucas visited Oak Hill High School to talk about the County Clerk’s Office, what goes into preparing for an election, and the history of Jennings Randolph.
Students also got to try out electronic voting machines. Those who will be 18 before the general election had the opportunity to register to vote, and everyone learned about a new law that allows students as young as 16 to work at the polls.
Thank you, Michelle and Barbara, for spending time with our students and helping them see how they can take part in the election process!
Every day with the fantastic 🌟Mia Calloway🌟 is special, but it's a #WonderfulWednesday when we get to introduce her to you!
Mia Calloway is the daughter of Daniel “Bear” and Amy Calloway and sister to Eli, Joseph, and Reagan. She also has two very important guys in her life—her boyfriend of more than two years, Nick, and her one-year-old basset hound, Dozer.
Mia has made the most of her time at Oak Hill High School, staying involved in athletics, leadership, service, and academics. She has been a member of the soccer, basketball, and softball teams, although she had to step away from some athletics following spine surgery nine months ago.
Her leadership at OHHS began when she served as Freshman Class President, followed by three years as a Student Council Representative. She is also a member of National Honor Society, Oak Heal Outreach, and the Gum Spring Baptist Church Youth Group; serves as an FCA leader and Devil’s Den Leader; studies Aerospace; and is a graduate of Leadership Fayette County.
Mia’s involvement extends well beyond the school day. She works for Bridge Walk and serves as a counselor at Camp SOAR. This past summer, she was Chief of the Mingo Tribe at 4-H camp, where she helped lead her tribe to win the coveted 4-H Spirit Stick among more than 140 campers!
Her interest in health care has also given her several unique opportunities. Before beginning high school, Mia was selected to attend WVU Tech’s Junior Nursing Academy, and this past summer she attended a program at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, where she especially enjoyed learning about the human body through the school’s donor program. Mia is currently enrolled in the Health Occupations program at FIT and plans to pursue a career in the health care profession after graduation.
Mia, your years at OHHS have been filled with leadership, service, resilience, and involvement in just about every corner of school life. We can’t wait to see where your passion for helping others takes you next. Congratulations, Mia! ❤️🖤

A big THANK YOU to Seed Sower for partnering with Oak Hill High School to speak with our health classes about substance use disorder and recovery.
Our health teacher shared that the presentations were impactful, engaging, and truly resonated with our students—who absolutely loved having them in the classroom.

Mrs. Mooney’s Algebra 1 students put ratios and proportions to work with a challenge that took them from the classroom ceiling all the way to the New River Gorge Bridge!
Students began by making estimates and taking measurements around the classroom, then used proportional reasoning to calculate how many reams of paper they would need to stack from the floor to the ceiling. The answer? 55!
Then Mrs. Mooney made things a little more interesting!
Their next challenge: How many reams of paper would it take to stack from the bottom of the New River Gorge all the way up to the New River Gorge Bridge?
And now it’s YOUR turn to dust off those math skills!
🏈 FACEBOOK GIVEAWAY! 🏈
Drop your answer in the comments. If anyone correctly figures Mrs. Mooney’s calculated number of reams from the bottom of the Gorge to the Bridge, you’ll win TWO FREE TICKETS to Friday night’s home football game against Nicholas County!
Who says math can’t be fun? 😎📐

📢Attention Class of 2027 Students & Guardians📢
We are so proud to congratulate our principal, Mrs. Katie Hayes, on her recognition this weekend as an OHHS Alumni Association Grand Honoree!
A proud member of the Oak Hill High School Class of 1991, Mrs. Hayes returned home to OHHS in 1999, beginning her career here as an English, journalism, and yearbook teacher. In 2012, she transitioned into the role of curriculum specialist, became an assistant principal in 2013, and has served as principal of Oak Hill High School since 2018.
For more than two decades, Mrs. Hayes has poured her time, talent, and heart into the school that helped shape her. Her leadership is rooted in a genuine love for OHHS and the students, staff, families, and communities who make it special. She has dedicated her career to helping Oak Hill High School grow while honoring the traditions and relationships that make this place feel like home.
There is something especially meaningful about seeing an OHHS graduate return to serve her alma mater—and ultimately lead it. We are incredibly fortunate to have someone at the helm who understands our school from so many perspectives and who remains deeply devoted to its success.
Congratulations, Mrs. Hayes! This recognition is so well deserved, and we are proud to call you ours. ❤️🖤

OHHS senior Evan Martin has been named the first-ever WVU Tech Golden Scholar, a prestigious honor that will be awarded to just 13 students - one from each southern West Virginia county - each year.
As the Golden Scholar selected from Fayette County, Evan will receive a full-ride scholarship to WVU Tech for four years, covering tuition, room and board, meals, and books while he pursues his bachelor’s degree. He currently plans to major in Construction Management.
Evan was selected based on his exemplary academic record, outstanding extracurricular involvement, and exceptional strength of character. Ask anyone who knows Evan, and they’ll tell you he is kind, mature, responsible, bright, funny, and exceptionally personable — an undeniably deserving recipient of this honor.
Speaking about the scholarship, Evan said, “I am very grateful for this opportunity, and very thankful to OHHS for preparing me for this.”

Today, Oak Hill High School was proud to host a College Fair for students from Oak Hill High School, Meadow Bridge Regional School, and Midland Trail High School!
We are so grateful to all of the colleges and universities who joined us — from schools right here in West Virginia to representatives traveling from Virginia and North Carolina — as well as members of our United States military who came to speak with students about the many paths available after graduation.
Whether our students are considering a four-year university, a two-year program, career and technical opportunities, military service, or simply trying to figure out what their next step might look like, events like today give them the chance to ask questions, make connections, and explore their options firsthand.
A huge THANK YOU to every representative who took the time to visit OHHS and invest in the futures of our students. We appreciate you helping them see just how many possibilities are waiting beyond high school! 🎓
