Butler County High School-  On behalf of the faculty and staff at Butler County High School, I want to welcome all of our upperclassmen returning to BCHS and I want to give a special welcome to the incoming freshmen. The most important year of your high school experience is the one that you are starting next.  I want to remind you universities and scholarship committees not only look for good grades, but they also look for students who are well rounded and are involved in the school and community in leadership roles.

You are invited to a wedding shower in honor of Clay Tynes & Andrea Weeks on Sunday July 27, 2014 from 2 to 3:30 pm at the Morgantown Community Church.  The couple is registered at Macy’s, Belk & Pottery Barn. 

On behalf of the faculty and staff at BCMS, welcome to the 2014-2015 school year.

Hello! My name is Josh Belcher and I am the new principal at North Butler Elementary School. I am elated at the opportunity to lead such a great school. I hope that over the approaching school year that I can gain your trust and confidence. It is my goal to develop meaningful relationships with the students, staff, parents and entire community of Butler County, while providing an environment conducive to learning at its highest potential. NBES is a model of excellence for the caring environment that it provides each and every student.

Dear Parents,
The opening day for students is just around the corner, and it’s hard to believe that another summer has passed and the beginning of another school year is fast approaching.  Like myself, I’m sure parents, and students are eagerly preparing for the 2014-2015 school year as they begin shopping for those new school clothes, backpacks, and lunchboxes. 

Friday night July 11, the community of Rochester came together at the Rochester Park for a post-Independence Day cookout.  Events like this are great because you get to see members of the community that you otherwise wouldn’t because of busy schedules. 

The family of Wilbur McKinney would like to thank everyone who called, sent food, flowers and visited during Wilbur's illness and passing. We would like to especially thank the pallbearers, Smith's Funeral Home, Morgantown Care & Rehab, Dr. Hammad and staff,  Morgantown Prescription Center,  Morgantown Ambulance Service, Five Seasons Florists, Cool Springs and  Belmont Churches, Kenny and Sharon Johnson, B& R Lumber and Brother David Youngblood.
