Located at #1 Rebel Drive, Fort Gay, WV, Tolsia
High School is the home of the Rebels!
On March 19, 1985, a 14.1
million dollar bond levy was made available for the consolidation of Crum High School and
Fort Gay High School. This consolidation took many hours of careful planning from both
communities in order to make the transition as smooth as possible. All this planning
and combined effort paid off, because on January 18, 1988, students ceased being Crum
Mountaineers and Fort Gay Vikings and became Tolsia Rebels.
This ultra modern facility is
located on U.S. 52 approximately 12 miles south of Fort Gay and 12 miles north of
Crum. Tolsia houses approximately 430 students grades 9-12 with three administrators
and 70 faculty and staff members.
Tolsia has received many
acknowledgements and awards in its existence. Tolsia has seen a rise in Achievement
Test scores and attendance, was selected as the 298th Point of Light by President George
Bush, visited the White House, won the AA State Basketball Competition twice, and the AA
State Cheerleading Competition has been held by Tolsia 11 of the last 14 years!
Tolsia has also brought home the Sportsmanship Award and participated for four years in
the State Quarter-finals in AA Football. Tolsia has also expanded its curriculum by
adding Schools-to-Work, Job Shadowing, and Advisor/Advisee Programs.
Tolsia now hosts state-of-art
technology throughout the building. Our Media Center is now a hub for student
technological research. All students and teachers enjoy access to the internet
through the computer lab located in the Media Center and our Science/ Math Lab, located in
our Science and Math Department.
The future for Tolsia looks
promising. Students have proven to themselves that they have the potential to be number
one. With a lot of hard work and support from their friends, family, faculty, and
surrounding communities, Tolsia has come far since changing colors.
