With the new school year underway across Ohio, it’s more important than ever that our students be in class every day ready to learn. Missing too much school has long-term, negative effects on students, such as lower achievement and graduation rates.

Think about it this way — a student is chronically absent if he or she misses as few as two days of school a month. September is Attendance Awareness Month across the country and in Ohio. Our state is taking significant steps to address chronic absenteeism.  Click the "Read More" link for more information

The Class of 2018 will bestow the honor of Valedictorian and Salutatorian as per the 2017-2018 Student Handbook (pg 40). We will also be honoring the Top Ten of the Class of 2018 who will be required to have 6 credited classes per semester and a total of 20 CP/Honors/AP classes that include at least 1 AP class. For more information regarding Val/Sal or Top Ten, please refer to the Student Handbook or call Mrs. Rippeth at the high school.

Should an emergency or disaster situation ever arise in our area while school is in session, we want you to be aware that the schools have made preparations to respond effectively to such situations.

Should we have a major disaster during school hours, your student(s) will be cared for at this school. Our School District has a detailed emergency operations plan which has been formulated to respond to a major catastrophe.
