ELKINS A new era will begin this fall for Elkins High School’s football program, as the school’s football facility will no longer be historic Wimer Stadium.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted Tuesday evening to approve a resolution enabling the county school system to enter into a lease purchase agreement with Citizens Bank of West Virginia.
According to documentation provided by county officials, the loan will provide funding for new bleachers to be built for EHS athletic programs, including football, baseball and band. As part of the bleacher project, county officials will be relocating the home of EHS football from Wimer Stadium to Elkins High School’s current location at Kennedy Drive off the Beverly Pike Five-lane.

Frank Wimer was a man of faith, a man of courage and a man of determination. He was a veteran of the armed services, an educator, a coach and a father not only to his own children. He was a father figure to every student and player he taught in a classroom or on the field. Anyone lucky enough to have known Frank Wimer might well have said he was the greatest citizen Elkins ever had.
It was on a grass field and/or a coal cinder track where thousands of kids learned to grow up and start to understand how hard work and determination could result in a successful life. It was only fitting for that piece of ground in South Elkins where so many learned to bear the name Wimer Stadium.

ELKINS– After examining several proposals, the Randolph County Board of Education has voted to approve a school calendar for the 2021-22 school year.
This fall, students in Randolph County will return to school Aug. 24 for full-time, in-person instruction. The final day of the first semester will fall on Jan. 18, 2022 and the final day of instruction for students will fall on June 3, 2022.
Rachel Anger, board member, emphasized the difficultly in finding a calendar to meet the needs of every party, adding the approved calendar is the best compromise.
“I think this calendar is a compromise. It doesn’t make anybody incredibly happy because it seems like elementary wants the exact opposite as secondary,” she said.
