In recognition of National Manufacturing Day, we partnered with the Regional Manufacturing Coalition and Ashland Area Economic Development to offer our sophomores an inside look at Barbasol and SJE, Inc. in Ashland.

National Manufacturing Day is an annual event that is dedicated to showcasing modern manufacturing and inspiring the next generation of creators. These tours showed students how manufacturing goes beyond the factory floor, with careers in logistics, sales, accounting, engineering, HR, and more.

A big thank-you to Barbasol and SJE, Inc. for warmly welcoming our students and supporting their career exploration!

October 13-17 is National School Lunch Week! Let's give a huge shoutout to our incredible food service staff for their hard work in serving up healthy and tasty meals for our students every day. Your commitment drives their success - thank you! 👏

It's Ohio School Safety Month, and a key part of our school community is School Resource Officer Ben Kick! His role goes far beyond security; he is a daily positive presence in our halls, building strong, trusting relationships with students. From joining a game of dodgeball to simply being available for a conversation, Officer Kick creates an atmosphere where students feel comfortable and supported.

We appreciate his commitment to being a positive role model and a trusted adult for our students!
