Chillicothe City Schools -

We will be closed on Monday, January 26th, due to the snow and cold temperatures!

Our regularly scheduled Board Meeting, originally slated for Monday, January 26th, will be held on Wednesday, January 28th, at 6:15PM.

Our students at #ChillicotheSTEMPreschool are having the BEST time learning, playing, and creating together! So thankful for our students!

We're sad we've had to postpone CCSD's Annual Revue, but the safety of our students and community comes first! Be sure to come out and support these students at our rescheduled dates, February 7th and February 8th, respectively.

Our 8th grade boys were in a battle with Jackson on our new home floor last night. A fourth-quarter finish gave us the win. Way to close it out and secure a big victory heading into the tournament. Now it’s time to go win the FAC Tournament. We have something to prove!

This year’s varsity volleyball team is serving up excellence! 🏐📚 A 4.6 GPA proves they know how to set goals, dig deep, and spike success both on and off the court. So proud of these Young strong and talented young women!

Wow! What a day! On January 17th, our students performed at the OMEA District 16 Solo & Ensemble event hosted at Unioto High School. We had a total of ✨27 performances✨, with many of our students participating in more than one. Throughout the day, our students gave meaningful and musical performances, and we are SO proud of their progress. From first-time performers to seniors performing for the last time, we had a fantastic day with Chillicothe Bands!

Thank you to our directors, friends, and family for all of their support. A special thank you to Mr. Burns, Mr. Kolis, and Miss Gilbert for their help preparing students, as well as to our wonderful accompanists, Savannah Robinson and Kensia Bush.
