We are proud to announce that senior Andrew McKenzie has been named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. In the fall, Andrew was named a National Merit semi-finalist and had the opportunity to advance to the finalist standing in the competition. National Merit Scholarship finalists are determined by the grades he has earned, rigor of curriculum, PSAT/NMSQT scores, an essay, leadership roles, and contributions to the school and community. Andrew is representing less than one percent of graduating seniors in the United States. This is an incredible accomplishment!

We would like to take a moment to recognize the school counselors who work so hard to help our students succeed. National School Counseling Week is the perfect time to acknowledge all of the work that these counselors put into our school district. This year's American School Counselor Association theme is "Standards-Based, Student Focused" and it's the perfect description of the mindset that our counselors carry each day.
Thank you to our school counselors: Mrs. Rex, Mrs. Bidlack, Ms. Wood, Mrs. Schmiedebusch, Mr. Christoff, Mrs. Melson, as well as our Student and Family Support Coordinator Stephanie Kiefer. Please take the time this week to thank your school counselor for all that they do!
Shawnee High School - Today, during Connections, students watched a scheduling video that pertains to their grade level and reviewed the Course of Studies for next school year. Students also received a copy of their transcript, a Course Request Form (front page) and a four year planning grid (back page). Students will bring the Course Request Form with a parent signature to Connections on February 6th, and also enter course requests online at that time.

The Americanism and Government Test program is a joint venture and partnership with the Ohio American Legion Auxiliary, a cosponsor of the program. The test consists of fifty (50) True/False, multiple choice, and fill-in the blank questions. Every student taking the test also writes a 300 word essay on the same topic.
Through a number of judging levels in the state of Ohio to select Post, County, and District winners, the initial field of 65,000 students is narrowed to 84 district winners, whose winning test papers are submitted to a State Judging Committee for this program. District winners are submitted to a State Judging Committee to select the State Award winners. Congratulations Andrew, Caiden, Kelly and Emily on your advancement to the County level!
