The Valley
Affectionally known as "the valley" just behind the student center, is an area where students gather for picnics, have sand volleyball games, the Homecoming bonfire, pep rallies, picnics, outdoor concerts and such. It's like Mother Nature's amphitheater!!! In the winter months students also use the fantastic hill for sleigh (uhh, cafeteria tray) riding in the West Virginia snows!
