Versailles Middle School

On Tuesday, April 7, we had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Claire Jones from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to celebrate something truly meaningful—our continued excellence as a 5-Star District.

Dr. Jones spent time with both our high school students and our 4th graders, recognizing the hard work, commitment, and pride that define Versailles Schools.

She also personally delivered our 2025 Overall 5-Star Award banner, now proudly displayed in our cafetorium. Board Member Shaun Brewer and Superintendent Harmon accepted the banner on behalf of the entire Versailles school community.

One of the most powerful parts of the day? Watching our high school students model pride and appreciation, while our 4th graders experienced what it means to be part of something special.

This recognition belongs to all of us—our students, our staff, and our community.

This week's Students of the Week!

Today we celebrate National Down Syndrome Awareness Day and one very special 8th grader — Charlotte! Charlotte is a bright light at Versailles Jr. High. She brings joy, determination, and kindness to our school every single day. Whether she’s working hard in class, making her friends laugh, or showing off her confidence and style, Charlotte reminds us all that our differences are what make us unique and amazing. We are so proud of you, Charlotte! Keep being you and showing the world all the wonderful things you can do. Charlotte celebrated by being brave and getting her ears pierced! 🖤🧡 #DownSyndromeAwareness #CelebrateDifferences #VersaillesJrHigh
