Versailles Exempted Village Schools

Good evening Tigers, This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with what I believe will be the last one of these messages for most of you for a few months. I am sure that you need no reminder, but tomorrow, Friday, May 24, 2024, is the last day of school for students. As was previously announced, school will end with a 2-hour early dismissal. Students will be dismissed from school at 1:05 PM rather than 3:05. Have a wonderful, safe, truly excellent and well-deserved summer break. Senior class, we'll see you on Sunday for graduation! Congratulations to the entire Versailles community on what has been a truly phenomenal year for our school and our community. We are beyond blessed! Go Tigers!

On Friday, May 24, 2024, we will dismiss for summer at 1:05 in the afternoon. Thank you very much.  Let's make these last two weeks magical!

Dear Parents and Families of High School Students, Staff, and members of the community, This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with an important message about the morning of Friday, April 26, 2024. We have advertised this several places, including in a message to High School families from Mrs. Stonebraker, as well as the fact that it has been shared in the newspaper, but we wanted to make one last effort to communicate to the families of students at the High School, staff, and general community members, that in an effort to educate and encourage teens to make good choices when getting in or behind the wheel of a vehicle, Versailles High School has arranged to present the Drive Smart Program. On Friday April 26th at 9:00am, a mock crash scene will be staged at the school. Students will be spectators and will witness the life-like events that occur after a drunk driving related crash. Police, Fire, EMS and others will arrive on scene in an attempt to rescue the victims of this staged, but very lifelike accident. In the final moments of the event, a parent speaker will discuss a real life scenario and will encourage our students to learn from this demonstration. Our goal is that students will make the right decision and never get behind the wheel while impaired or get in a vehicle with an impaired driver. If you prefer your child to not witness this event, please contact the high school office at 937.526.4427 ext 3000 or email Jacki Stonebraker at jacki.stonebraker@vtigers.org. A huge thank you to the Versailles Police, Fire & EMS, MVH Careflight, Darke Co Coroner’s Office, Bailey & Zechar Funeral Home, School Staff and Student volunteers for their time and effort put into this event.

Tomorrow - April 25th is "DNA day." Pictured is Mrs. Treon's Genetics class with their Recombinant DNA plasmids. The Genetics class is learning how to create Recombinant DNA and how to input a plasmid into bacteria cells. If all goes well, the bacteria will be able to do something it couldn't before.

Freshman Baseball @ Russia will start at 4:00 pm.
