BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WCHS) — A ribbon cutting was held at the Woody Williams Center for Advanced Learning and Careers in Barboursville on Thursday.

The center currently has 13 high school programs, with eight more planned to be added next school year. There are eight adult programs offered as well.

Programs offered include automotive technology, welding and carpentry.

“By having this modern facility and updated equipment, it allows our students to be workforce ready, to be able to walk into that position and know that they’re confident in what they’re doing,” director and principal Melissa Ash said.

Currently, there are 250 students that attend the center.

The 232,000 square foot facility is attached to the Huntington Mall and was re-purposed space from a former Sears department store.

Big Day for the Knights

When a school can celebrate a sports team winning a state championship, it’s a very big deal. When the same school can claim TWO state champions in the same year, that’s monumental.  That’s the case for Cabell Midland High School.  In the spring of this year, both its baseball and track teams captured their respective state titles in Class AAA.

Today, Huntington Mall honored both teams for their extraordinary victories at a Champions Rally in the mall’s Center Court.  Cabell County Schools Superintendent Tim Hardesty and Athletic Director Jason Bankston were on hand to congratulate the athletes.  Track Coach Chris Parsons recounted the season, thanked his assistant coaches and introduced the team members individually, as did Baseball Coach Tracy Brumfield.

The mall’s philanthropic arm, the Cafaro Foundation, presented the school with a $10,000 donation.  Each student-athlete also received a Huntington Mall Gift Card.

Huntington Mall has been serving the people of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky since 1981. This 1.5 million square foot shopping complex is located off Route 60 and Interstate 64 at exit 20 in Barboursville, WV.  For more information on mall tenants, hours and events, call 304-733-0492 or visit online at www.huntingtonmall.com.  Huntington Mall is owned and managed in association with the Cafaro family of companies, based in Niles, Ohio.  To learn more about the Cafaro organization, go to www.cafarocompany.com.
