Hello, my name is Mitch Webster and as the 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 M.A. 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 teaching principal at Dorcas and the Head Girls’ Basketball coach for Petersburg High School. I have many pleasant and memorable moments from both my teaching and coaching careers during that time which I will cherish for a lifetime. In 2005 I became the principal at Petersburg Elementary School. It was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience. We had a great staff, supportive PTO, and the kids at PES were super. As a principal, I always kept my office door open and encouraged parents to stop by and see me anytime they had questions or concerns. I have continued to do the same as a Superintendent and I am extremely excited to be in a position in which I can 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 an assistant principal at PHS as well as the Head Girls’ Basketball Coach. Alisha is a Speech Therapist in the Hardy County School system. 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 second year as superintendent with great enthusiasm. Thank you,

Sincerely,

Mitch Webster
