KCS Math Field Day 2026

Two days, hundreds of problems, and a whole lot of brainpower on display. Kanawha County Schools recently hosted the 2026 KCS Math Field Day, a two-day event that celebrates students who love a challenge and aren’t afraid to put their problem-solving skills to the test.

Elementary students in grades 4 and 5 competed on day one, followed by students in grades 6–12 on day two, each representing their schools with plenty of math pride.
