Man High School

A Place to Remember Coach Tootie Carter Some people leave a mark so deep, it becomes part of who we are. Coach Tootie Carter was one of those rare souls — a mentor, a friend, and a true MHS legend. His heart for students, his love for the game, and his unwavering presence made him unforgettable. Thanks to the hard work of the MHS Student Council, and with the incredible craftsmanship of the students at the Ralph R. Willis Career and Technical Center, a memory bench now sits in his honor. It’s more than just a bench — it’s a place to pause, reflect, and remember a man who gave so much to our school and community. We are so thankful to everyone who helped bring this tribute to life. Coach Carter, your legacy lives on — in every story, every smile, and now, in this special place created with love and respect. #ForeverInOurHearts #CoachCarter #MHSFamily #RRWCTCPride

📣 Attention Parents & Students! We’re excited to announce that Man High School will be hosting an informational meeting with a representative from Marshall University for any current 9th–11th grade student interested in taking Marshall classes next school year. 📍 Location: Man High School 📅 Date: Wednesday, May 14th 🕔 Time: 5:00 PM Come learn more about the opportunities available through Marshall’s college courses and how your student can get a head start on their college journey while still in high school! We hope to see you there!

We’re incredibly proud of our Man High School students who are part of Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College’s Early College Academy! Tonight, several of our students were recognized at the 2025 Annual ECA Celebration & Awards Dinner for their outstanding academic achievements and commitment to getting a head start on their college education. These students have gone above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what their futures hold. We also want to recognize the additional Man High students in the Early College Academy who were unable to attend the event—they are just as accomplished, and we are equally proud of their hard work! Thank you to Southern for hosting such a special evening—and congratulations to all of our hardworking Hillbillies who were honored! #ManHighPride #EarlyCollegeAcademy #Classof2025 #CollegeBound #HillbillyStrong

📣 Attention 9th–11th Graders! Makeup PSAT/SAT testing is happening Thursday, April 10th! ✅ Arrive by 7:15 AM to grab breakfast. ✅ Bring your Chromebook AND charger. Be prepared and on time — you’ve got this! 💪 #TestingDay #BeReady

This is a reminder that 9th and 10th grade students will be taking the PSAT tomorrow. It is important that students arrive on time as we will begin the day with breakfast before reporting to 1st period. The PSAT (Preliminary SAT) is a practice test for the SAT, which is used for college admissions. The PSAT helps students get familiar with the types of questions and the test format, while also providing a great opportunity to assess their academic strengths and areas for improvement. Additionally, 10th-grade students will be eligible for scholarship opportunities through the PSAT results. Please make sure your child is well-rested and prepared for the test. Thank you!
