Beep beep! It’s School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the dedicated professionals who are the first to greet our students in the morning and the last to see them safely home.
Our drivers navigate early hours, all types of weather, and miles of winding roads to ensure our kids get to school ready to learn. They are more than just drivers; they are mentors, friendly faces, and a vital part of our Ritchie County Schools family.
Please join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to our incredible bus drivers! Drop a comment below to shout out your favorite driver or share a story of how they’ve made a difference for your family.

Happy Earth Day, Ritchie County!
Today, Ritchie County Schools is celebrating the beauty of our Mountain State and the importance of protecting the environment for our future generations of Rebels!
From our classrooms to our playgrounds, our students are learning that small actions lead to big changes. Whether it’s starting a recycling project, planting a tree, or simply keeping our beautiful hills litter-free, every effort counts.
