Tucker County High School had the opportunity to show off some of its programs recently to Congressman David McKinley and members of his staff. McKinley, his wife, and staff from both West Virginia and Washington D.C. toured the high school visiting most of the technical programs classrooms after school.
McKinley, who was in Afghanistan just the day before, had hoped to tour a mine but when plans for that didn’t work out, our high school was fortunate to be chosen for a visit.
“I wanted them (his staff) to come here, I wanted them to understand the beauty of our state,” McKinley said.
The Congressman and his retinue were greeted in a hallway of the school with light refreshments made by the school’s ProStart program. CTE Director, Jr Helmick welcomed them with an introduction as to some of the things that make our school special.
