The West Virginia Department of Education is honored to announce the 2023 Golden Horseshoe winners for Harrison County. Since 1931, students have been honored as knights of the Golden Horseshoe, having demonstrated exceptional knowledge of West Virginia history on the state-administered exam. 

 

This year, 226 winners will join the ranks of WV citizens who have won this prestigious award. Your county winners will have an opportunity to be recognized at our Golden Horseshoe ceremony on June 13, 2023 at the West Virginia Culture Center in Charleston.

 

There were six Harrison County winners. Four of the six were from Bridgeport Middle School.

 

The BMS students that won include Micah Brittain, Henry Smith, Leroy Song, and Eric Alvarez. The two additional Harrison County winners were Seth Nay of Lincoln Middle School and Nathaniel Linger of South Harrison Middle School.
