Webster County High School, in Upperglade, West Virginia, is a public high school, established in 1974.
History
Webster County High School was opened in 1974, the result of the consolidation of Cowen High School and Webster Springs High School. Daniel Bean became the first principal of the new school, which was built on land acquired by eminent domain from Twyla M. Robinson, daughter of James B. Miller and Alice I. Williams. The land acquisition was disputed in the courts until the mid-1980s.[2][3]
On February 19, 2008, Senator Jay Rockefeller visited Webster County High School to speak with students about technology in education.[4]
Notable alumni
- Josh Stewart – actor on the television shows Third Watch and Dirt[citation needed]
