Superintendent Mitch Webster:

My name is Mitch Webster and as the new Superintendent of Grant County Schools I would like to welcome you to our county website and give you some general information about myself.  I grew up in nearby Moorefield and graduated from Moorefield High School in 1979.  I attended West Virginia University where I received a B.S. Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in Education Administration.  I began my teaching career in Grant County in 1984 as a classroom teacher at Dorcas Elementary School.  During this span in my career I was also a teaching principal at Dorcas and the Head Girls’ Basketball Coach at Petersburg High School.  I have many pleasant and memorable moments from both my teaching and coaching careers that I will cherish for a lifetime.  In 2005 I became the principal at PES.  It was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience.  We had a great staff, supportive PTO, and the kids at PES were super.  As principal, I always kept my office door open and encouraged parents to stop by and see me anytime they had questions or concerns.  I will continue to do the same as Superintendent.  I am extremely excited to work with all stakeholders to provide the best education possible for all Grant County students.  My wife Michele also works at PES as a Title 1 reading teacher.  We have two children, Jon and Alisha.  Jon is a math teacher at Petersburg High School.  He is also the county math instructional coach and the Head Girls’ Basketball Coach at PHS. He is married to Danielle Webster who a speech therapist for Grant County Schools.  Alisha is a Speech Therapist in the Hardy County School System.  She is married to Graham Porter who teaches science at PHS.  I also have four grandchildren.  Carson and Jackson Webster and Abby and Grant Porter.  They are the joy of my life.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences in the Grant County School System to this point.  I look forward to my new role with great enthusiasm.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mitch Webster
