 The County Board of Education ultimately cited COVID and inflation as the main issues for not having enough money for those projects. Nicholas County High will now stay at its current location along U.S. Route 19 in Summersville. Meanwhile, workers advancing in the new school have replaced the schools in Ridgewood that were destroyed in 2016. The $42.5 million project will include three schools, Cherry River Elementary, Ridgewood Middle School, and Ridgewood High School in one building.
