⛏️ Day 5 – Miners Never Stop Digging

Summer is full of opportunities to learn, lead, and dream big—and we're proud to celebrate another Miner who is doing just that.

Congratulations to Blake Smith for being selected to attend the West Virginia Governor's School of Entrepreneurship (GSE). This prestigious program brings together some of the state's brightest students to develop leadership, creativity, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial thinking through hands-on experiences and collaboration with business leaders and innovators.

During the program, Blake worked alongside students from across West Virginia to develop ideas, solve real-world challenges, and gain valuable insight into what it takes to turn innovation into opportunity. The experience encouraged critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills that will benefit him both inside and outside the classroom.

We are incredibly proud of Blake for representing Mingo Central and taking advantage of this outstanding opportunity. His dedication to learning and personal growth is a great example of what it means to be a Miner.

Our Miners never stop digging—always learning, always leading, and always looking toward the future.

⛏️ Day 4 – Miners Never Stop Digging

Summer isn't just about preparing students—it's also about our teachers continuing to learn, grow, and bring new opportunities back to Mingo Central.

We are proud to recognize Mr. Josh Johnson, our Aerospace Engineering teacher, for being selected as one of only three lead teachers participating in the AIRWV (Aviation Innovation and Readiness West Virginia) initiative.

As part of this prestigious program, Mr. Johnson spent two weeks at the Bill Noe Flight School, working alongside aviation professionals in aircraft maintenance, air traffic control, and other aviation career fields at Yeager Airport. He also traveled by air to Tri-State Airport to tour aircraft maintenance facilities and gain firsthand experience with the aviation industry.

Now, Mr. Johnson is helping develop aviation curriculum and classroom lessons that will be implemented in five pilot counties across West Virginia, creating exciting new learning opportunities for students and helping shape the future of aviation education in our state.

We're incredibly proud of Mr. Johnson for representing Mingo Central and for continuing to invest in our students, our Career and Technical Education programs, and the future of aviation in West Virginia.

Our Miners never stop digging—and neither do the educators who inspire them.

⛏️ Day 3 – Miners Never Stop Digging

While summer means a break from the classroom, it doesn't mean our football team takes a break from getting better—or giving back.

Our Miners have been hard at work this summer, putting in countless hours through Flex Days, team camps, 7-on-7 competitions, and strength and conditioning. Every workout, every rep, and every practice is another step toward being ready for Friday nights this fall.

But being a Miner is about more than football.

This past month, our players have proudly served the Mingo County community by:
🏈 Reading with children at the Mingo County Public Library, encouraging a love of learning and showing our younger Miners that success starts in the classroom.
🏈 Volunteering at the Wellspring Family Services Summer Splash Field Day, helping with games, activities, and creating memories for families across our community.
🏈 Joining the special celebration honoring Mr. Donald Tackett Jr. in Dingess, where they were honored to be part of a meaningful community event.

We're incredibly proud of the way these young men represent Mingo Central. They understand that wearing the Miner uniform means working hard, leading by example, and serving others.

Champions are built long before kickoff—and character is built every day.

⛏️ Day 2 – Miners Never Stop Digging

Summer is a time to explore new opportunities, develop new skills, and represent Mingo Central beyond our campus.

We're proud to recognize Bianca Moore, who was selected to participate in the West Virginia Governor's School for Tourism. This prestigious program brings together outstanding students from across the Mountain State to learn about West Virginia's tourism industry, leadership, hospitality, recreation, and economic development while visiting destinations throughout the state.

Bianca's selection is a testament to her hard work and dedication, and we couldn't be prouder to see her representing Mingo Central while discovering all that West Virginia has to offer.

Congratulations, Bianca! Thank you for showing that Miners Never Stop Digging—even during the summer.

⛏️ Day 1 – Miners Never Stop Digging

Summer may be in full swing, but our campus is still full of energy!

This week, Mingo Central was proud to host the Appalachian Soccer Academy, led by Mingo Central alumnus and Concord University Women's Soccer Head Coach Noah Rhodes. Coach Rhodes returned to his alma mater on July 13-14 to provide a FREE soccer clinic for young athletes from our community.

It was incredible to see so many future Miners and current student-athletes learning new skills, building confidence, and enjoying the game on our field. We are grateful to Coach Rhodes for giving back to the community that helped shape his journey and for investing in the next generation of athletes.

Once a Miner, Always a Miner.
