The West Virginia Department of Education is honored to announce the 2026 Golden Horseshoe winners for Wood County. Since 1931, students have been honored as knights of the Golden Horseshoe, having demonstrated exceptional knowledge of West Virginia history on the state administered exam. This year, 225 winners will join the ranks of WV citizens who have won this prestigious award.
County winners will have an opportunity to be recognized at our Golden Horseshoe ceremony on June 9, 2026 at the West Virginia Culture Center in Charleston, WV.
Congratulations to the 2026 Wood County winners!
