KEYSER - Twenty-four Mineral County seniors who have distinguished themselves in their academic careers were honored this week for their achievements.
The annual Achievement Awards, billed as “a salute to excellence in education,” highlight the top graduating seniors at Keyser and Frankfort who rank among the top 5% of their class or have achieved in an outstanding manner in other areas, such as leadership in school or community. The students also have exhibited positive character traits, and represented their schools well.
“To graduate with honors is a great achievement, to do so during a global pandemic is remarkable,’ superintendent Troy Ravenscroft said during the awards dinner Monday.

KEYSER - Keyser High School has announced the nominees for the 2021 Katharine Church Award - Virginia M. Breedlove, Carlie D. DelSignore, and Sierra Hester.
The Katharine Church Award was established by the Keyser Rotary Club and named in honor of educator, musician and humanitarian Katharine Church who served as music director for the club for many years. She was finally inducted as a full member in the club when Rotary membership was opened up to include women.
Church, whose musical talents even took her to a performance at the White House, passed away in 2002.
Nominee Virginia Breedlove has had a busy high school career at Keyser, having played volleyball for four years and participated in track for three years. She was named to All-PVC volleyball three years, All-Area volleyball last year, and All-State volleyball honorable mention for the past two years.
