South Dearborn High School students in Ms. Worley's English class spent the past few weeks polishing their scholarship essays, trading drafts back and forth for peer editing and revisions.

It was more than just proofreading; students learned how to put their own experiences and goals into words clearly and confidently, a skill that outlasts any single application.

Good luck to everyone who submitted!

What does your future actually look like? Ms. Wynn's 9th-grade Basic Skills Development class at South Dearborn High School spent the week answering that question, first learning about short-term and long-term goals, then building vision boards in Canva full of pictures, logos, and quotes that meant something to them.

Students wrapped it up by presenting their boards to the class, practicing communication and self-awareness while mapping out their own plans for life after high school.

What does marketing class look like when the client is real? Ask Mr. Kirchgassner's dual-credit students at South Dearborn High School, who are designing flyers for the athletic department and preparing to pitch their work to administration.

They're also launching a pen pal program with nursing home residents, pairing marketing skills with communication and community service.

These projects for real clients offer memorable experiences that will stick with students!

Last Monday morning, before the first bell, South Dearborn High School's seniors gathered outside to watch the sunrise together, a tradition that kicks off senior year.

It's a small moment, but it's the first of many the Class of 2027 will share this year. Here's to a safe, successful, and memorable senior year, Class of 2027! 🌅

Band and choir directors Mr. Pallada and Mr. Francis are working with South Dearborn Middle School students on the fundamentals — posture, embouchure (the way a musician positions their lips, teeth, tongue, and facial muscles to play a wind or brass instrument), scales, and musical articulation. It's the kind of practice that builds real control, rhythm, and confidence as musicians.

Mrs. Vermilion's English students at South Dearborn High School spent class this week making the case against Grendel — using nothing but the text itself as evidence.

As they work through excerpts of the 1,300 year-old epic poem "Beowulf," students are digging into what actually makes Grendel the villain of the story, backing up every claim with proof pulled straight from the story! 📖

Wednesday night, South Dearborn's middle school boys soccer team took on Connersville — but the game wasn't the only thing on their minds.

Before kickoff, South Dearborn Middle School presented Connersville with a plaque made for the schools of Fayette County, still working through the aftermath of severe flooding. Alongside it, our middle school and high school soccer teams contributed donations of needed items to help.

It was a good lesson for our boys: even in the middle of a rivalry, there's always room to look out for a community in need.

Thank you to the families who stepped up to make it happen!

What's the first project in an art class? For Mr. Baney's South Dearborn High School students, it wasn't a painting — it was picking a seat and learning how to take care of a shared space.

Respecting the supplies, keeping a clean work area, looking out for each other — these are the habits that make an art room feel less like a classroom and more like a studio.

Paraprofessionals make a real difference in a student's day — the extra support, the steady presence, the person who notices when a kid needs help. South Dearborn High School is hiring two of them right now.
