Round two of the Southern Ohio Career Tech League highlighted exactly what career-technical education does best—hands-on learning, collaboration, and real-world skill development. We were excited to host the Construction competition, while our partners at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center hosted the Nursing competition, giving students the chance to work in different environments alongside peers from other campuses.
A special thank you to Darin Schweickart with DS2 Architects for designing the blueprints for the construction competition and serving as a judge. Students gained invaluable experience seeing how a project moves from 2D drawings on paper to a full bathroom mock-up, working directly with a community professional in the process.
Today was engaging, energetic, and centered on learning, teamwork, and confidence building—exactly what these opportunities are meant to provide. Thank you to Southern Hills CTC, our instructors, judges, and students for making the day a success. We look forward to seeing the league continue over the coming weeks!

OVCTC Ag Business students were able to “pass it forward” by donating some of their own freezer pork raised at the Ohio Valley Career and Tech center. Students selected breeding stock, witnessed baby pigs born in two litters, and raised them to market weight from start to finish. They know where their food comes from, and it is a privilege to be able to share that with others in the community. Special thanks to the Church 180 and Winchester 3CU for allowing us to be a part of their local food pantries. Through them, we know the product will reach people in our community who can use it most. #PioneersTodayProfessionalsTomorrow

Second Semester Starts Monday, January 12 – Let’s Start Strong!
As we begin the second semester, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on attendance. Every single day in school matters for student learning, relationships, and future success.
📌 Did you know? A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of the school year—that’s just 2 days per month. Under Ohio law, all absences count (excused and unexcused).
🎯 STRIVE FOR 5 – Every Day Counts! (Students should miss no more than 5 days all year, if possible.)
💡 How families can help: ✔️ Make daily attendance a priority ✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the day if your child is absent ✔️ Send a written note, email, or doctor’s slip when your child returns ✔️ Reach out if challenges arise—we are here to help and support your family.
📚 When students are here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together to make second semester our strongest yet!

We would like to congratulate Mr. Holden Nuhn for finishing his student teaching experience with our Ag Business Program. Mr. Nuhn is in his final semester at Wilmington College and worked with Mr. Rhonemus as his cooperating educator this past fall. He taught some great lessons to our students and was a big help with numerous activities that our chapter participated in. He was a great addition to our NAILE trip and we look to see him as a future agriculture educator upon graduation! Best wishes Mr. Nuhn as you finish up your semester teaching at Black River!

We’re excited to celebrate the birth of a new calf today on the CTC farm! Moments like this are what hands-on learning is all about. Our Ag Business students get to experience the full cycle of agriculture planning, care, management, and celebrating success right alongside real-world farm projects.
From livestock management to business decision-making, these experiences help prepare students for careers in agriculture while building responsibility, teamwork, and pride in their work. This is just one of many projects our students take part in throughout the year at Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center.

A huge thank you to Peebles Elementary for welcoming us into your building so we could still share a little Christmas cheer with your 3rd graders. While the weather unfortunately canceled our Christmas at the CTC tours, we didn’t want the students to miss out, so we brought the CTC to them!
Our students were proud to deliver the hand-made ornaments created at the CTC as a small Christmas gift and a reminder that we can’t wait to host these students in the future.
We truly appreciate the flexibility and partnership from Peebles Elementary and look forward to welcoming these 3rd graders to the CTC soon………when the weather cooperates!

This morning, Zoe Horsley, a junior in the Teaching Professions program at the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center, took the stage at the West Union High School Winter Concert as part of the Performing Arts program—and she did an amazing job!
Zoe is a great example of how students can attend the CTC without giving up what they love at their home high school. By choosing the CTC, she’s gaining hands-on experience and preparing for a future career in education while still staying actively involved in performing arts, along with other opportunities like athletics and academic clubs.
At the Ohio Valley CTC, students truly get the best of both worlds—career-focused learning and full participation in high school activities. Way to go, Zoe! 👏🎵
