PICKENS ELEMENTARY/HIGH SCHOOL, located at One Panther Place in Pickens, West Virginia, is a small, rural public school serving students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. As a central fixture of the remote community of Pickens, the school operates as a close-knit educational environment where the elementary and secondary levels share resources and space. Due to the school’s isolated geographic location, it plays a vital role in local civic life, functioning not only as an academic institution but as a primary hub for community connection and extracurricular activities.

The school is part of the Randolph County School District and is characterized by a "small-school" atmosphere, which typically allows for individualized attention and strong student-teacher relationships. Given the size of the community, the school emphasizes a unified Panther spirit, often integrating programs across grade levels. Despite its limited size, PICKENS ELEMENTARY/HIGH SCHOOL remains committed to providing a foundational education that prepares its students for both local opportunities and future transitions into higher education or the workforce.
