Gov. Justice delivers over $1 million to Greenbrier East and Greenbrier West High Schools for athletic facility upgrades

​

GREENBRIER COUNTY, WV - Gov. Jim Justice delivered over $1 million in funding today for Greenbrier East High School and Greenbrier West High School, which will be used for significant athletic facility upgrades.

"Our kids are the heart of everything we do in this community," Gov. Justice said. "These schools are a place to learn, but they are also a place to develop lifelong friendships, grow, and learn lessons they will take with them throughout their lives. A lot of that is done on a field or a court. When we invest in resources like this, we are helping our kids succeed in and out of the classroom. Both schools have desperately needed new floors for a while, and I'm proud we're finally able to make it happen. Our students and communities are beyond deserving. So congratulations to both programs. Keep doing more and more goodness."
Greenbrier East High School received $654,568 to replace its damaged basketball court and upgrade the aging lighting at the football field.
Greenbrier West High School received $371,450 to replace its old basketball court, originally constructed in 1968.

Both schools hosted check presentation ceremonies where Gov. Justice and his beloved English Bulldog, Babydog, joined students and staff to celebrate the exciting announcements.
