One of our favorite LHS traditions is welcoming back a 20-year alumni speaker at graduation—a powerful reminder of how far our Redbirds can soar. This year, we were proud to welcome Scott Underwood, LHS Class of 2005, who shared his inspiring journey from student-athlete and band member to Flight Test Operations Manager at Boeing. Thank you, Scott, for showing our graduates what’s possible, and proving that once a Redbird, always a Redbird. ❤️

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff has always been and will continue to be our top priority. To reinforce this commitment, today, at Loudonville High School, we are conducting a planned safety drill in collaboration with the Loudonville Police Department and the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department.
An important part of that practice is communication. In the event of an actual emergency, our first priority will always be to secure the premises and ensure the safety of everyone on campus. Emergency communication will be done via email, text, and/or phone.
Periodic practice of safety procedures is critical for preparedness and prevention. These drills allow us to assess our protocols and ensure that our school community is ready to effectively respond to potential emergencies. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our local safety forces, whose collaboration is crucial in protecting our students and staff.

Redbirds, we need your help!
The proposed legislation in Ohio House Bills 96 & 335 threatens the future of public education in our community and across the state. Here's what’s at stake for Loudonville-Perrysville Schools:
🔹 $1.17M annual funding loss for LP Schools
🔹 Larger class sizes, fewer staff, and limited opportunities for students
🔹 Restricted local control over funding and decisions
🔹 Elimination of vital property tax funding without state replacements
Our students deserve strong, well-funded schools. These changes hurt not only our classrooms but also libraries, parks, and essential local services. Read the full message from Superintendent Allerding on our website at: https://www.lpschools.k12.oh.us/article/2277869
