Today, more than 2,000 middle school students from across four counties walked through the Brown County Fairgrounds and got a glimpse into their future at Little State STEAM.
With over 100 businesses, schools, and industry partners participating, students were able to explore hands-on activities, ask questions, and discover career pathways they may have never considered before. From precision machining and welding to cosmetology, HVAC, health careers, early childhood education, and other skilled trades, the opportunities were endless.
The best part wasn’t just the displays or activities — it was watching OVCTC students lead, teach, mentor, and connect with younger students who may one day follow in their footsteps. Real students. Real skills. Real opportunities.
At OVCTC, we believe exposure creates opportunity. Kids can’t be what they cannot see — and today they got to see it all. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this incredible event possible and to our students and staff who did an outstanding job representing our programs, school, and community.

We are proud to announce our ACOVSD 2026 Classified Employee of the Year.
Carla Wesley, a dedicated school bus driver and on-board instructor, has been a trusted presence behind the wheel for the Peebles School Attendance Area for the past 18 years. She would be the first to tell you that a school bus is more than just a vehicle—it’s a classroom on wheels. Through her care, consistency, and commitment, she creates a safe and positive start and end to each student’s day.
Carla was honored during this morning’s celebration and presented with a $1,000 award by Chris Harover, President of the National Bank of Adams County..
Congratulations, Carla, and thank you for the incredible impact you make on our students and school community each day!

Day one of State FFA convention was a hit! We stopped by Spectrum Analytics in Washington Courthouse and learned about how soil, manure, forages, and other plant based items are tested. We saw first hand how we derive pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, among other micronutrients are derived from the samples sent to Spectrum. Our next stop: SugarCreek Packing to learn how bacon 🥓 is processed and packaged. A highlight to our day was seeing an amazing collection of cars, motorcycles, and boats following our tour! Special thanks to the team at both Spectrum Analytics and SugarCreek for having us be a part of their day! After settling in to our hotel and eating some good food at Longhorn Steakhouse, we rounded the night out with some fun at Activate Games! Started our morning with some great sessions and an excellent message from Brad Hurtig. We are excited for our very own Colt Johnson as he competes for a final 4 spot in the Agricultural Mechanics and Repair category with his proficiency! 🔧

Ag Mech is back at it again—and not slowing down anytime soon.
Fence project ✅
Now onto the next challenge… adding a drainage ditch to support an upcoming build. From moving dirt to solving real-world problems, our students are learning what it takes to get the job done right.
This is what hands-on learning looks like—seeing a need, making a plan, and getting after it. Proud of the work ethic and skills being built every single day.
