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. #Pioneers TodayProfessionals Tomorrow

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! 👏🎵

Getting it DONE — in the shop AND on the court! Congratulations Andrew! Andrew is in our Ag Mechanics program, he is proving you don’t have to choose between career tech and athletics. After putting in work in the lab—learning hands-on skills that lead straight to high-demand careers, he turned around and earned C103 Player of the Game! This is what we’re all about at the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center. Students can train for real careers, earn industry credentials, and still compete at a high level in sports, be involved in clubs, attend dances, and enjoy everything that comes with the high

We had the amazing opportunity to host West Union Elementary and Manchester Elementary 3rd grade teachers and students to the CTC, what an incredible day it was! Our halls were filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of Christmas cheer as students enjoyed:

Decorating cookies, Creating Christmas cards for local nursing homes, Collecting ornaments handcrafted right here at the CTC, Pictures with Santa, Festive face painting, Story time, A holiday hayride, A beautiful live nativity, Fun games, activities and hot chocolate.

What made the day truly special was watching our CTC students shine. They didn’t just host the event they led, organized, and guided each activity with the help of our amazing staff. Their creativity, leadership, and teamwork continue to show just how incredible our Pioneers are, both in their labs and out in the community.

We love sharing these experiences with our community in fun, festive, and meaningful ways.

We’re excited to welcome Peebles Elementary and North Adams Elementary for round two of Christmas magic at the CTC!
