🎉🏆 Congratulations to Ama Ackon-Annan from Woodrow Wilson High School and Zadie Worley from Liberty High School for receiving the prestigious 2024-25 WVU Foundation Scholars award! 🎓🌟
The WVU Foundation Scholarship is the highest academic scholarship awarded by West Virginia University, covering college costs for four years of undergraduate studies, including tuition and fees, room and board, and a book stipend. Each scholar also receives a $4,500 stipend for study abroad, internships, or research, enabling them to expand their academic horizons and pursue their passions.
Ama Ackon-Annan, who plans to major in biomedical engineering, has always been inspired by her engineer mother and her experiences at STEM camps. She looks forward to joining intramural sports and DEI initiatives at WVU and hopes to study abroad in England or France. Her ultimate goal is to become a family physician, bridging her passion for biology and technology.
Zadie Worley, who will major in neuroscience, is motivated by a personal experience of watching a young family member suffer from epilepsy. She aims to become a pediatric neurologist in West Virginia, contributing to innovative healthcare solutions. Zadie plans to join the Medical and Dental Brigades and hopes to engage in groundbreaking research at the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.
“Our Foundation Scholars represent the best of West Virginia and I look forward to officially welcoming them to the West Virginia University family this fall,” said President Gordon Gee. “During their time at WVU, Ama, Isaac, Liam, Clare, and Zadie will be challenged as they pursue their passions. I have confidence they will all find success along their chosen paths of purpose.”
Join us in celebrating these exceptional students as they embark on their academic journeys at WVU. Your dedication, hard work, and passion inspire us all. We are incredibly proud of you! 🌟💙💛 #WVUFoundationScholars #MountaineerPride #FutureLeaders #AcademicExcellence

Dear Raleigh County Schools Parents and Guardians,
On Monday, April 8, 2024, it is anticipated between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM that our region will experience a partial solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, blocking all or a portion of the sun’s rays.
Medical professionals advise it is always dangerous to look directly at the sun without appropriate eye protection. Out of an abundance of caution, Raleigh County Schools (RCS) will be taking extra steps for your child’s safety.
•RCS will follow a regular schedule on Monday, April 8, 2024.
•All schools have been encouraged to share the solar eclipse viewing experience with students by utilizing television feeds or internet live streams.
•Resources and lessons about the solar eclipse are available from the West Virginia Department of Education, NASA, and other science outlets.
•School staff will advise students of the dangers of looking directly at the sun at any time, especially during the solar eclipse.
•Students will not be permitted outside for any activities other than those planned and approved by the principal during the hours of 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This includes recess, athletics, band or other outdoor after school activities.
•As students are dismissed, staff will be on hand to instruct students not to look directly at the sun and to monitor as they exit the building.
The eclipse may occur during dismissal time. RCS asks parents to reinforce the dangers of looking at the sun and to remind their children not to look directly at the sun on their way home from school on Monday, April 8, 2024.
We appreciate your understanding and support during this unique learning experience and ask that you talk with your children about the eclipse prior to school on Monday, April 8.
