GENERATIONS

Success in Education From stellar private schools to some of the top-rated public schools in West Virginia, education remains a key to success for the Ohio Valley. And local schools are not just about the three R’s — they are helping students learn how to learn more effectively, and using some new and unique teaching techniques to make that happen. For example, in the Bridgeport School District, the Raymond C. Stewart Exercise Science Lab has been operational since the start of the school year. The lab exposes students to a variety of science-based majors they may explore in college. At John Marshall High School, the Steel Band, led by Tracy Filben, is teaching students how to succeed through their music. The group recently traveled to Chicago to join music’s greats at the Midwest Clinic, International Band and Orchestra Conference. The Linsly School uses a strong counseling program to help its students succeed, as this year every senior already has been accepted into a four-year college. Counselors help students through mock essay writing exercises and other tools to prepare them for college admission. And at Wheeling Park High School, a special group of students on Park’s Speech and Debate team is keeping alive a 39-year streak of state title championships. As speech and drama coach Bill Cornforth puts it, “No player or coach wants to be the one to lose that first championship.” That level of commitment and desire to succeed helps set Park speech students apart as they strive for perfection.
