In partnership with WVU STEAM TAC, students in Mrs. Wright’s classes participated in a lesson today that introduces students to the science behind solar power and its application in solar farms and energy grids. Using Snap Circuits, students explored how solar panels collect energy and how that energy can be stored in batteries for later use, just like in real-world systems. They investigated key electricity concepts, such as voltage, current, and resistance, gaining hands-on experience with how solar energy is converted into usable power.

Tyler Consolidated High School is in the process of collecting memorabilia and photos from Sistersville High School, Tyler County High School, and Tyler Consolidated High School.

As part of the new addition, we want to honor and highlight the history of our schools while celebrating the legacy of the past and the pride of Tyler Consolidated through the years.

Memorabilia will be displayed in the new trophy cases, and photos will be featured on a digital display above the cases.

Email digital media to: history@tcs-wv.com

If you have memorabilia to share, please contact Amanda Kimble at (304) 758-2145.

We would like to welcome Ms. McGinnis to the Silver Knights family! We are extremely excited for her to join our team!

Reminder: Tomorrow is Silver and Black Friday!

Mrs. Dunham's Gardening Club used the LeafSnap app to identify flowers, shrubs, and trees around the school grounds. Students photographed leaves with the app, which provided the plant names and some interesting facts, making learning interactive and engaging. They worked together while comparing app results with actual plant features. The activity boosted students' observation and critical thinking skills.

This year at TCMS, every Monday during Knight Time is our new Club Day! At the start of the school year, students filled out our Club Day Survey to share their interests and suggest the types of clubs they’d like to see. Using those results, our staff worked together to create a list of clubs that reflect what students asked for.

Here are the clubs we’re offering this year:
-Steel Drum Club
-Lego Club
-Book Club
-Junk Journaling
-Chess & Strategy Games
-Crafting through the Seasons
-Basketball 101
-Cup Stacking
-Travel the World
-Math Games
-Arts and Crafts
-WV Travel/Golden Horseshoe Prep
-Animated Drawing Club
-PLTW - Design and Modeling
-Gardening Club
-Art Journaling
-Klub Karaoke
-Yearbook Club
-Guitar Club
-Board Games
-Community Service Club
-Football 101

After each 9-week grading period, students will have the option to stay in their current club or switch to a different one. Club Day has been a great way to start the week with leisure activities that our students enjoy! #KnightsPride

TCMS Community: Here's what's happening at Tyler Consolidated Middle School during the month of October 2025!

Students in Mr. Emch’s and Mrs. Wright’s DYF classes got to see the ins and outs of the eSports lab here at TCMS/HS. Huge thanks to Mr. Hensley for meeting with our students to share his knowledge of mobile, PC, and console systems and games, as students are beginning their exploration through the Information Technology career cluster.

TCMS Parents/Guardians: Today marks the midterm of our first nine-week grading period, which ends on Friday, October 24. We encourage all parents and guardians to check their child’s grades on the WVEIS Parent Portal to stay informed about their progress.

If your child has a deficient grade, please call the school at 304-758-9000 to speak with their teacher for support.

If you need help accessing the Parent Portal, we’re happy to assist. Please remember you must have a valid email on file with the school to gain access.

Mr. Maiden’s TASK students are preparing for the WVU College of Engineering Annual Pumpkin Drop competition. In this event, teams design protective pumpkin packages and drop them from the roof of the 11-story Engineering Sciences Building at WVU.

We’re proud to see our students apply real-world engineering skills and creativity in this exciting challenge. #KnightsPride

We are excited to share that the new gym expansion in the back of the school will now be utilized for entry to all middle school athletic events.

Please note: the entryway at the top of the middle school stairs will no longer be open for events. All spectators should use the designated entrance in the back of the school for gym access.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of our student-athletes. #KnightsPride
