Thank you to the Columbus Zoo for giving our Animal Science students a behind-the-scenes tour of the Animal Health Center. What a fantastic learning opportunity!
Our Welder students recently took a trip to Hicksville, OH to APT Manufacturing where they specialize in Robotic Welding Systems and Education Solutions. Students were able to work alongside industry professionals as they created a weld as an "operator." Thank you to the entire APT group for having our students!
The Welding and Fab program is hoping to purchase a FANUC / Miller set-up so future welders can earn the ArcTool Operation and Programming Certification from FANUC.

FFA students from 78 schools judged cattle, sheep, goats, hogs, poultry, and dairy cattle. The event, aligned with Ohio FFA and Department of Education standards, serves as preparation for the State FFA Judging contest.
Students were evaluated by experienced FFA livestock judges. Local farmers and the Indian Lake FFA Alumni Group provided animals for the contest.
🇫🇷🍳 Bon appétit! We had a fantastic French cooking demonstration in the Sloan Kitchen this morning in preparation for this year's Humanities trip to France.
Culinary and Humanities students mastered the art of Crème Brûlée—a dessert once served at royal tables, as they topped each dessert with a caramelized top. They also cooked cassoulet, a peasant dish with white beans, vegetables, tomatoes, bacon, sausage, and cured duck legs. The students used the bacon they made in another cross-curricular lesson with Mr. Rose's science students.
Need a personal trainer? We have FIVE! 💪👊 Congratulations to these Exercise Science seniors for successfully passing the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Personal Training test and earning their certification! 🎉

Today, students at OHP were treated to a motivational session by LaVonna Roth, Founder and CEO of Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.®, focusing on personal growth and leadership. Roth's program emphasizes the power of recognizing and developing one’s strengths, passions, and potential.
S.H.I.N.E. stands for:
💡Self: Valuing one’s talents and skills.
💡Heart: Leveraging passion in everything you do.
💡Inspire: Keeping yourself and others motivated.
💡Navigate: Taking actions towards future goals.
💡Exceptional: Realizing your true potential.
Roth encouraged students to "shine" by combining self-awareness with action, aiming to inspire both personal success and positive influence on others.
Our cosmetology students dove into the world of natural foods in skincare! 🌱✨ Instead of reaching for the usual bottles and jars, students (maybe a bit begrudgingly) embraced using cucumbers, bananas, yogurt, oats, honey, and potatoes to give facials. 🧖♀️🍃
They explored the properties of these natural ingredients and their effects on the skin. Each of these foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, plays a role in fighting oxidation and reducing inflammation, offering a holistic approach to skincare. 💆♀️
OHP/Urbana Intro to Design & Development students are learning about hydraulic systems.
