ELKINS A new era will begin this fall for Elkins High School’s football program, as the school’s football facility will no longer be historic Wimer Stadium.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted Tuesday evening to approve a resolution enabling the county school system to enter into a lease purchase agreement with Citizens Bank of West Virginia.
According to documentation provided by county officials, the loan will provide funding for new bleachers to be built for EHS athletic programs, including football, baseball and band. As part of the bleacher project, county officials will be relocating the home of EHS football from Wimer Stadium to Elkins High School’s current location at Kennedy Drive off the Beverly Pike Five-lane.

ELKINS Nearly one year ago, students in Randolph County were sent home from school, not knowing they would not return to a full-time schedule for more than 300 days due to the COVID pandemic.
As a team, teachers, administrators and staff employed by Randolph County Schools combined their efforts and creativity to come up with a plan that would ensure students’ needs were still being met, despite being away from school.
Director of Child Nutrition and Pre-Kindergarten Services LaDonna Rosencrance along with members of her department spearheaded several initiatives and partnerships with community groups and organizations to provide meals to students.
