🚔💙 Happy National School Resource Officer Day! 💙🚔
February 15, 2026
Today we proudly recognize and celebrate our outstanding School Resource Officer, Deputy Crump, for the incredible impact he makes in our schools every single day.
Our SRO is more than a law enforcement officer — they are a mentor, role model, protector, and trusted friend to our students and staff. From building positive relationships in the hallways to helping ensure a safe learning environment, their dedication does not go unnoticed.
We are grateful for the partnership and support from the Clark County Sheriff's Department and for the commitment to keeping our school community safe and supported.
Please join us in thanking Deputy Crump for his service, leadership, and care for our students! 👏💙

Our 8th grade science classes recently welcomed Molly Hunt, a geologist with the Ohio Department of Education and Natural Resources, for an exciting, hands-on learning experience. Students had the opportunity to see, touch, and discuss real geological and archaeological artifacts, exploring the rich natural history of Ohio.
Molly is committed to serving students, educators, and communities across the state and is highly sought after for classroom presentations thanks to her ability to connect with learners of all ages.
Her passion for geology started young—at just five years old, she began collecting rocks, and her love for Earth science has only grown since. Today, she brings that lifelong curiosity into classrooms, inspiring students to explore science, ask questions, and imagine future careers in STEM.
We’re grateful for partners like Molly who bring learning to life and help our students see the real-world impact of science! 🌎✨

Our Spanish 4 students have been busy exploring culture through cuisine! Today, they learned how to make pupusas, a traditional Salvadoran dish made from thick, hand-formed corn or rice tortillas stuffed with savory fillings like cheese, beans, and pork (chicharrón), then grilled until perfectly crisp.
Through hands-on cooking, students are deepening their understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures while practicing language skills, collaboration, and creativity. Learning never tasted so good!
This community event features 80+ exhibitors, engaging presenters, and interactive breakout sessions designed to inspire curiosity and creativity.
