Dear Heath Schools Community,
The first half of our school year flew by, with the fall sports season having just concluded and winter already underway.
Our students have excelled academically as our local report card shows that we are among the highest achieving and growing districts in the county. Our students outperform their peers as well when compared to districts across the state of Ohio. As an example, Heath High School’s Biology class is ranked 24th of the 607 districts in the State of Ohio based on State Report Card scores for the last school year! Other great student success includes:
- Our Girls Golf team was the 2025 LCL Co-Champion and District Qualifiers
- Our Football team was the 2025 LCL Cardinal Division Champs
- 2025 Cross Country runners Ryan Baker and Bradlee Higgins were Regional Qualifiers, and Baker was a State Qualifier
- A HMS team won 1st place in the Design Challenge category at The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology STEMfest! HMS had two other teams finish in 2nd place
- Heath Marching Bulldogs finished their competitive season with a historic finish at the Mid-States Bands Association (MSBA) Championships – they earned an 8th place finish in the finals and the highest scores in school history at MSBA. They also received an overall Superior Rating at the Ohio Music Education Association’s (OMEA) State competition!
- Treble Choir earned an Excellent rating and Chamber Choir earned a Superior rating at OMEA Large Group Contest; Chamber choir earned an Excellent rating at OMEA State Competition; and Concert Band earned a Superior rating at OMEA large Group Contest in May
Our staff has also captured numerous accolades for their work, including HHS Principal Kat Fields being named the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators' (OASSA) Zone 10 High School Principal of the Year! I am honored to be able to work with Kat and all of our administrators and faculty, all of who are talented and caring educators. We are truly lucky to have these folks teaching our kids.
In case you haven’t seen our social media pages, we have started a new series of “Did You Know?” posts to highlight important information from our district. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to view.
Thank you for your continued support of our Heath Schools students and staff members. We believe ensuring all students learn and grow is our collective responsibility, and we look forward to your continued partnership in this effort.
Go Dogs,
Trevor Thomas, Ed.D.
Superintendent, Heath City Schools
