Mason County Schools held the County Social Studies Fair November 3, 2022 at the Mason County Board of Education Board Room. All of our schools were represented with 52 projects and 67 students. 

We would like to thank our 24 community judges who volunteered their time to help judge these projects. Our judges included people from Bob's Market, Marshall University, Pleasant Valley Hospital, Netranom, AEP River Transportation, Ohio Valley Bank, Mason County Commision, WVU Extension, ICL, retired teachers, and Central Office employees. 

Congratulations to all the students who participated and represented their schools with excellent projects.

All our First-Place winners will move on to the Regional Social Studies Fair that will be held at the Mason County Board of Education on February 2nd, 2023.
