Another Teaching Professions Success!
Congratulations to Ariel Boldman, a senior in our Teaching Professions program, for successfully passing her Paraprofessional Exam!
Ariel is now our second Teaching Professions senior this year to earn this accomplishment!
Passing this exam is a huge step toward her future in education and provides her with the certification needed to work as a paraprofessional in school systems. It’s another example of how our Teaching Professions students are preparing for meaningful careers while still in high school!
We are so proud of Ariel and all the hard work she put into reaching this goal.
Congratulations, Ariel! Your future in education is looking bright!
We are proud to recognize these students for earning their Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt credential!
Yellow Belt is all about identifying problems, analyzing what is happening, and learning how to create and implement solutions. The tools and methods they learned can be applied in organizations, businesses, schools or even in everyday life.
These students did an outstanding job brainstorming, creating charts and diagrams, analyzing problems, and developing creative solutions. Most importantly, they learned that when you see a problem, you don’t just complain about it you find a way to make it better!
Way to go, Pioneers! We are proud of the skills you are developing and the problem-solvers you are becoming!

Our Ag Mechanics and Welding students are working together to construct a new building, but this project goes far beyond the shop. Students also worked with Mrs. Grooms, our math teacher, to make sure the measurements, angles, and calculations were right before putting the steel in place.
This is where academics and the trades come together in a real-world setting. Students aren’t just learning the math—they’re using it to solve an actual problem and build something that will last.
This is the kind of education students can only get at the CTC—classroom knowledge, technical skills, teamwork, and real-world experience all coming together on one project.
Building skills. Building knowledge. Building futures. That’s CTE.

🏫 At ACOVSD, we value our partnership with parents and families in making education a priority. Every school day offers opportunities for students to learn, grow, and connect!
Our Vacation Planner helps families enjoy meaningful time together during scheduled school breaks. Planning vacations around these breaks sends children a positive message that their education is important—and makes time for family adventures, too! 📚🎓
Ohio’s House Bill 96 emphasizes early support and school-family partnerships to prevent chronic absenteeism. Chronic absenteeism means missing at least 10% of the state-required instructional hours, including excused and unexcused absences—so missed time can add up.
📅 Just in time for the upcoming October 10–12 three-day weekend—save this planner for your next family adventure!
Strive for 5. Every Day Counts.

From a customer’s idea to a custom product in about 1 hour!
Our Welding students are putting our new equipment to work—taking a design from the computer to the plasma table, then on to sandblasting and powder coating for a finished product.
This is more than learning how to use equipment. Our students are learning how to take a customer’s vision, create a design, manufacture it, and deliver a professional product. 💪⚙️
Real customers. Real projects. Real-world skills.
