On February 29, 2020, Doddridge County Middle School participated in the Regional Science and Energy Fair at Fairmont State University. For the first time in school history the Fair was run under the guidelines of the State Board of Education.
With the help of Sherry Mitchell, Fairmont State Regional Science Fair Coordinator, Mr. W. Ezell Doddridge County Science Fair Contact Person, Doddridge County Board of Education, Mrs. Jennifer Davisson and Mrs. Lori Lett, we were able to obtain ten slots for Doddridge County Middle School. These were the projects that placed 1st at D.C.M.S. in the six categories.
