Last night, two seniors, Micah Bartley and Willa Culp, were proudly recognized as they received their NTHS cords and awards. We also celebrated the induction of our juniors, Avery Antoine and Angel Moore, into this prestigious organization.
Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence in career and technical education are something to be proud of. We look forward to all you will continue to accomplish!

The OGYAE is a highly competitive, two-level (regional and state) juried show that provides students across Ohio the opportunity to showcase their talents and elevate their artistic craft. Olyvia was honored at the state awards ceremony on Sunday, April 12, in Columbus for her piece, "The Feeble Mind Gone Mute."
We are incredibly proud of Olyvia’s hard work, creativity, and dedication. We wish her the best of luck in all her future artistic endeavors—we cannot wait to see what she creates next!

High School Student Council loved hosting a daily Easter Egg Hunt for everyone, but we know what the real highlight was... the legendary "Extra Hunt" for our Principal, Mr. Grime! 🔎 Seeing you all race to track down the "Big Bunny" himself made the week unforgettable. We had just as much fun organizing these daily hunts as you did searching. Thank you to everyone who participated, and a massive thank you to Mr. Grime for being such an incredible sport! 🥕
