✨💡 Help Us Light the Runway! 💡✨
Our Ayersville STEAM students are gearing up for this year’s Runway Lights project — and it’s going to be bigger and brighter than ever! Last year, we brought over 8,000 pixels to life, and this season our goal is to add 10,000 more to our dazzling display.
Every strand helps students learn real-world skills in design, coding, and teamwork while spreading holiday cheer across our community.

Varsity Softball Coach Vacancy for the 2025-2026 school year.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
As you may have heard, Ohio has passed a new law requiring all public schools to prohibit student cell phone use during the instructional day. While schools across the state must put this policy in place by January 1, 2026, Ayersville High School will begin enforcing it on the first day of the 2025–26 school year on August 25th.
During the school day (including class time, passing periods, lunch, and any other supervised activities), students will not be permitted to use personal cell phones. This change is designed to reduce distractions, encourage face-to-face interaction, and help all students stay engaged in their learning.
Exceptions will be made for:
- Students with documented health-related needs that require phone access.
- Students in College Credit Plus (CCP) courses requiring two-factor authentication for login.
These exceptions will be granted individually and phones may only be used at appropriate times.
We know this is a shift, and we appreciate your partnership in helping students adjust. Please take a moment to review the attached “Be Present. Be Engaged. Be Phone Free.” graphic from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce for more details about the statewide policy.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at garrett.grime@ayersvillepilots.org or (419) 395-1111.
Sincerely,
Garrett Grime
Principal, Ayersville High School
