Consolidation of Hundred High School

In late 2024, the Wetzel County Board of Education held several meetings about plans to consolidate Hundred High School by merging it with Valley High School in western Wetzel County. Due to parents concerning about longer bus rides, and students having work schedules being altered due to the added length of travel, it left the Hundred community in a mild outrage.

On 22 November 2024, the student body of Hundred High School was asked to head to the school's auditorium to watch the final voting of the consolidation. While the consolidation passed, the result had the teacher and student bodies in disappointment. Hundred High School continued to operate for the rest of the 2024-25 school year, the building now occupied by the Long Drain School. In addition, the Wetzel County Board of Education made a decision to rename the building to Hundred Heritage School, keeping the original red, white and navy blue color scheme and the school's hornet mascot.
