United High School Student Guidelines:

Please Review the UHS Student Guidelines that were sent home with every student to be signed and returned.  

Tobacco, E-Cigarette's Use and Possession:

     In previous year's at United High School, we have had several students who have been ticketed by the Harrison County Sheriff's Department, for possession of tobacco products.   These tickets cost each of these students approximately $110. 

     In accordance with the West Virginia Board of Education Policy 2422.5A, W.Va. §126CSR66, Tobacco-Free Schools, and Harrison County’s Tobacco Policy, “a student will not smoke, use tobacco, or possess any substance containing tobacco in any building/area under the control of the Harrison County school system, including all activities or events sponsored by the county school district.” County policy 4101.7.12 also bans the possession of lighters and/or matches.

     Students are continually monitored and checked by HCSD for possession of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Students will continue to be ticketed if found to be in possession of these products. In addition, discipline will be handed out following Harrison County policy 4103.  The best thing for a student to do is stop using tobacco products. This will save you $110 and will likely save your life.
