College Credit Plus
From State Superintendent Dr. Richard A. Ross
As your child moves closer to high school graduation you are probably thinking about whether he or she will go to college. Will your son or daughter be prepared for higher education? Will you be able to afford it?
These are normal questions for parents to ask. We have good news that can help you answer them if you think college may be in your child’s future. Ohio’s College Credit Plus program offers students in grades 7-12 the chance to earn college credit from any Ohio public college or participating private college while earning high school credit for the same courses, if they qualify academically. If a student qualifies for College Credit Plus, all associated costs are free to students seeking credit from public colleges. There may be limited costs for students seeking credit from private institutions.

Swim team makes history!
  The Barberton High School boys swim team competed in the 2015 Akron South Sectionals 2015 this past Friday, 02/13/15, at the University of Akron. While I can't say definitively that this was the greatest singular day in Barberton boys swimming history, I am fairly sure it was the best day in at least a generation.

Barberton Chef Prep Juniors Win Chopped! Pizza Challenge
 Derek Everson and his Seafood Pizza The Copley Chef Prep and Hospitality Management program led by Chef Joe Schmeltzer gives students the opportunity to compete against each other in a “Chopped!” challenge. On February 10, 2015 the surprise challenge was to create a specialty pizza. Kaitlyn Claar took First Place in the Dessert Specialty category with a Cinnamon Crumble Pizza and a vanilla glaze that judges said taste like a cinnamon bun. Derek Everson took First Place in the Specialty Category with a “to die for” Seafood Pizza with shrimp, calamari and a white garlic sauce. Fellow Barberton Chef Prep junior Morgan Harper made a broccoli and cheese pizza. The Chef Prep and Hospitality Management juniors look forward to more “Chopped!” challenges in the future.

Superintendent's Message (February 2015)
Positive Outlook for Barberton Schools
Patti Cleary
The budget proposed by Governor Kasich
last week was good news for Barberton Schools.
I am very cautious, however, of what the final appropriations will be by
the time the budget is approved by the state legislature.
Over the next two years, the plan calls
for additional funding for both Akron and Barberton Schools, but takes away
funding from many other Summit County school districts. I expect there will be much push-back before
the budget is finally approved, perhaps as late as June.
In the meantime.....
