The Ohio Hi-Point Board of Education met in regular session Wednesday evening, amidst a very busy campus.
The BOE then heard a report from Education Academy students Regan Bunn (Junior, Urbana) and Jalon Manns (Junior, Kenton) about their recent visits to several area schools as part of their lab. The students prepare lesson plans and then teach them to elementary and middle school students. The Academy also includes students from various programs from OHP and has hosted pizza-making competitions, taught girls & boys how to braid, painted fingernails, done HVAC science experiments, and much more. Manns and Bunn have also job-shadowed teachers within OHP’s partner schools.
The board next went into executive session.
