Kingwood Community Working to Give Former High School New Life

27 Jan 2022
Community members in Preston County are coming together to revitalize the former Kingwood High School building. The building on East Park Street hasn’t held classes for several years, but a new committee wants to give it a second life.
Years ago, the city sold the building to a private owner. Now, the committee is ready to obtain the building to use it for businesses, children’s activities and community events.
