Versailles Middle School

As we close out the week for Thanksgiving break, our hearts are full of gratitude for the overwhelming support our community has received during this challenging month. We are deeply thankful for Greenville Middle School, Parkway Middle School, and Piqua City Schools, whose kindness and compassion have meant more to us than words can express. To these schools and the many other communities who have reached out with support, we are profoundly grateful. Your generosity has reminded us of the beautiful truth that we are part of something far bigger than ourselves—a network of care, compassion, and community that lifts us up in our most difficult moments. Thank you for standing with us. Your support has been a gift we will always treasure.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We hope everyone has a happy, enjoyable, and safe Thanksgiving break!

Students of the Week! Congratulations!

Thank you, substitutes!

When tough times come our way, our community shows its true colors. We’re incredibly fortunate to live in a place where neighbors don’t just stand by—they stand together. These gift card trees are just one small way our school and community are supporting families through their challenging times right now. It’s moments like these that remind us: we’re not just a community, we’re a family. This is what makes Versailles, Versailles. 🖤🧡

🎉 #10 in Ohio Middle Schools! 🎉
We are incredibly honored to be recognized as the #10 Middle School in Ohio by U.S. News & World Report, with an overall score of 99.08/100!
While we are deeply grateful for this recognition and blessed beyond measure with exceptional students, dedicated faculty, and a supportive community, we know that what truly makes Versailles Middle School special cannot be captured in rankings alone.
🖤 Our greatest achievement isn't found in test scores/rankings—it's in the relationships we build, the genuine care we have for one another, and the community we create together every single day.
🧡 It's in the way our staff knows each student's story, the way students lift each other up, challenge one another, and the way families and community members invest in our shared vision and mission.
THIS is what makes VMS the best place to learn, grow, and belong.
Thank you to everyone who makes our school a home. 🖤🧡

Supporting Our Class of 2030 Families 💙 Our school community has experienced two heartbreaking losses recently. The Breeze family is grieving the tragic passing of Wesley, and the Marsteller family (Eric) lost their home in a fire. We will have a collection box available in the elementary/middle school office and the high school office. More information is below! If you donate, please mark which cause you'd like for it to go to. If nothing is marked, it will be used evenly between the two causes.
