2025 TCHS Prom Information! #KnightsPride

Students from Mr. Griffith's College Biology and Biology II classes enjoyed fantastic spring weather as they visited the WVU Core Arboretum on Monday, April 14. Arboretum Director, Dr. Zach Fowler, led the group on a two-hour walk along the trails of the Arboretum, stopping frequently to discuss the various plants and wildlife that can be found there at this time of the year. Dr. Fowler is a 1997 graduate of Tyler Consolidated High School, and is a former student of Mr. Griffith. He enjoys hosting the group each spring during the time that ephemeral spring wildflowers are at their peak. Wildflowers blooming in profusion at the time of the trip included Bluebells, Spring Beauties, Trout Lily, Dutchman's Breeches, and many others. "It is always great to go to the Arboretum and visit with Dr. Zach," said Mr. Griffith. "He was one of the most knowledgeable students I had back when he was in my classes, and he has continued to immensely increase his knowledge of wildflowers, trees, birds, and many other aspects of Nature. WVU is very fortunate to have someone of his caliber as the director of the Arboretum." The Core Arboretum is located right next to the WVU Coliseum. It is comprised of a 91-acre hillside forest overlooking the Monongalia River and has about three miles of trails. It was established in 1948 as a way to preserve native species in the Morgantown area. Entry is free and the Arboretum is open every day of the year. A small parking area is located along Rt. 19/7 (Monongahela Blvd), just past the Coliseum heading towards the downtown section. #KnightsPride

The Tyler Consolidated Wall of Fame: We are excited and proud to announce the inaugural inductees to the Tyler Consolidated Wall of Fame — a new tradition honoring individuals whose lifetime of service, dedication, and heart have shaped the culture and spirit of Tyler Consolidated. These three remarkable individuals poured their time, talents, and love into our school community. Their legacies will live on through the students they inspired, the programs they built, and the memories they created. Meet the 2025 Wall of Fame Inductees: Mr. Wayne Smith For 30 years — including 23 at Tyler Consolidated — Mr. Smith devoted his life to instrumental music education in Tyler County. As Director of Bands, his leadership brought the Silver Knights Marching, Concert, and Jazz Bands to statewide prominence. He established the county’s first jazz band, led the first students to All-State Band auditions, and introduced Solo and Ensemble opportunities. Mr. Smith's ability to motivate students to reach their full potential — while cultivating a culture of discipline, pride, and commitment — is why the Silver Knights Band program remains one of the top in the state today. His passion for music, leadership, and high expectations helped create a program that became a source of pride for the entire community. Under his leadership, the band program not only grew — it flourished. Mr. Smith's personal commitment to excellence was as exemplified in the band program. Mr. Smith left a lasting impression on generations of students and a legacy that continues to this day. Ms. Linda Putzulu From the moment Ms. Putzulu stepped into the gymnasium, she embodied leadership, passion, and dedication. Over 42 years of service, she approached physical education with an energy and authenticity that inspired students of all backgrounds to push themselves — not just in athletics, but in character, teamwork, and resilience. A dedicated physical education teacher, she went far beyond the gym — she was everywhere. Always the first to greet students and staff with a warm smile, Ms. Putzulu was present at nearly every concert, game, and event. She gave freely of her time, volunteering at Saturday Recess, cheering on athletes, and capturing countless moments behind the camera. Ms. Putzulu was the true reflection of a Knight as she proudly protected her school and her students. She modeled lifelong fitness, resilience, and respect both on and off the field. Her unwavering dedication and energy made her a staple of TCHS — a constant, caring presence for everyone in the building. Mr. Larry Richie Mr. Richie’s life was a masterclass in commitment to students and community. As a History and Journalism teacher, he inspired curiosity and critical thinking, while encouraging countless students to pursue careers in education and media. He brought Tyler Consolidated to life through his role as the school’s storyteller and creative force — producing standout yearbooks, capturing memories in early video documentaries, and helping shape the school’s image long before school branding was a trend. As a wrestling coach, Mr. Richie led teams to success while building a culture of discipline, respect, and leadership. His ability to lead by example taught student-athletes not just the fundamentals of wrestling, but also life lessons in perseverance, accountability, and excellence. He was a voice for Tyler Consolidated before we even knew it needed a voice. Whether in the classroom, on the mat, or behind the scenes, Mr. Richie gave everything he had — and his impact will be felt for generations. These three remarkable educators didn’t just work at Tyler Consolidated — they lived it. They shaped its traditions, supported its students, and gave their hearts to its success. It’s with great pride and heartfelt gratitude that we honor them as the first members of the Tyler Consolidated Wall of Fame. #KnightsPride

Today Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Stollings took sophomores and juniors to the St. Marys Correctional Center and The Station for lunch. This was a great opportunity for our students to experience and learn how the choices they make now and in the future affect everyone around them. You have the power to be anything you want and the road you go down is up to you. Thank you for listening to a different perspective and giving others the chance to teach you in a different manner. #KnightsPride
