Members of the South Dearborn High School Art Club spent last weekend volunteering at the 2026 Cincinnati Comic Expo at the First Financial Center.
Students greeted, checked in, and directed hundreds of guests, artists, and exhibitors as they arrived. They also worked as celebrity assistants, managing guest lines and taking photos of fans with the actors. Along the way, they got to know actors, artists, vendors, expo staff, and fellow volunteers.
This was the club's fifth year volunteering at Comic Expo. We love seeing our Knights helping out in the community!

A colony built on codfish and shipbuilding versus one built on wheat and wide religious tolerance — South Dearborn High School students in Mr. Robertson's class compared the New England and Middle Colonies this week, studying their economies, crop exports, migration, religions, and ethnic groups.
Students walked away seeing how geography and the people who settled there shaped everything that came next.

What's the first rule in the workshop? Safety glasses on, every time. South Dearborn High School students in Mr. Thayer's class are learning table saw safety this week, including the right way to hold the wood, the different cuts a saw can make, and how to respect the blade.
It's a skill that pays off well beyond the classroom, whether that's a job site or a garage workbench at home.

Mrs. Andrew's agriculture students at South Dearborn High School have a new travel companion this fall: a flat Franklin, or "Frankie," headed out on four field trips as part of an FFA project.
At each stop, students will snap a photo with Frankie, introduce him to new faces, and log the visit — date, location, people met, a special memory — building a four-adventure scrapbook by the end.
It's a project built on communication and presentation skills, one new friend at a time.

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.

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! 📖
