Congratulations Jazz Ensemble 2! Boardman won the 2020 Pinwheels for Prevention Community Spotlight Award presented by Mahoning County Children's Services and the Akron Children's Hospital Child Advocacy Center.

Seniors selected for admittance into The National Honor Society in 2020, were formally inducted into NHS on March 24, 2021.  Covid prevented an official ceremony last spring, so the socially distant formal event was held in the gymnasium this year, with family able to watch from the stands.  

This group of 64 seniors will then conduct a second National Honor Society Induction, for those juniors who are to be inducted this year.  That event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 14 in the gymnasium.

Learn at Home Wednesdays will continue during the fourth 9-weeks.

 The Wednesdays affected for the fourth learning period are:

April 14, 21, 28

May 5, 12, 19, 26

April 7 and June 2  are in-person Wednesdays. 

UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE LEARNER/WEEKEND MEALS:

Meals must now be pre-ordered by Monday each week,  to be picked up on Wednesdays.

IN-PERSON LEARNERS may also order free WEEKEND MEALS- for pickup.

Greetings to all of our Spartan families (and especially our Senior Families!)

 I know there is a lot of excitement building about the end of the school year, and many questions about what the end of the year is going to look like for our Seniors, the Class of 2021. Let me start by saying that it is our number one goal to give the Seniors the most amazing, memorable, and fun end of the year that we are able to give them--all while meeting all of the requirements for safety as outlined by the local health department.

The Math department at Boardman High School is now equipped with brand new iPads, thanks to a generous donation from the Boardman Western Star Masonic Lodge #21.

The Honors Breakfast is a Boardman Spartan Tradition, but instead of one event with more than 700 students from grades 9-12 in the cafeteria at once--this year it will happen four times with a morning dedicated to each grade.  Seniors who achieved a 3.5 GPA or better for the first semester were honored Monday, March 8.  

During a recent visit home, BHS graduate and NFL player Corey Linsley took time to visit with more than 60 members of the Spartan football team.  Linsley worked out in the weight room at Spartan Stadium, and stayed later to talk with our young Spartans. His message was about giving it your all--on the football field, in the classroom, in whatever you do. Linsley talked about work ethic, passion, and pride.

Congratulations to BHS seniors  Aidan Swavel, Julia Gorby, and Salvatore  Buonamici.  The three are among a select group of 15 high school seniors from Northeast Ohio nominated by Congressman Tim Ryan to attend  prestigious U.S. Military Academies in 2021.  

Boardman School District’s Food Service Department is learning the ropes of a new food sealing machine that will help them better serve our Spartans.
