We’re sharing an important presentation about House Bill 186 (HB186) — proposed legislation that could create serious financial challenges for Preble Shawnee and rural schools across Ohio.
HB186 threatens:
Locally approved school funding
Budget stability and long-term planning
The authority of your elected Board of Education
This bill introduces new layers of uncertainty and allows county-level interference in school finances — even when funding has been approved by local voters.

📢 Help us protect local control and advocate for fair, stable funding for our schools.

Last week our Middle School Houses had their house sorting ceremony. Each 5th student was welcomed to their new House.
The 4 Houses of the Ron Clark Academy—Amistad, Altruismo, Isibindi, Rêveur—each represent a unique core value that shapes student character and school culture. Every student and staff member is sorted into a House, creating a sense of belonging, pride, and family. These Houses promote values such as friendship, bravery, giving, dreams, success, kindness, unity, and uplift. Through healthy competition, students earn points for demonstrating excellence in academics, behavior, and leadership.
This system encourages positive behavior, builds confidence, and motivates students to support one another. House events, chants, and celebrations bring energy and unity to the entire school. Students feel seen, valued, and empowered to grow into the best version of themselves. Overall, the House System transforms the school environment into one that is vibrant, inclusive, and purpose-driven.

We’re thrilled to announce that our school has received a $10,000 grant from Butler Rural Electric Cooperative and the NFL as part of their commitment to supporting education and technology in rural communities.
Thanks to this generous grant, we were able to purchase new computers for our 1st grade classrooms, giving our young learners even more tools to succeed!
To celebrate, we welcomed WHO Dey—the official mascot of the Cincinnati Bengals—to our school for a special visit! 🧡🖤
📸 Check out the excitement and see WHO Dey in action:
