5th Grade had a great time on the campus of Ohio University listening to the symphony orchestra. They heard works by Holst, Offenbach, and Sondheim. They were some of the most behaved students there! Southern Local was well represented!

Brailyn Lamb, Eastern Senior and her family unfortunately lost their home during the Reedsville fire that occurred yesterday evening. The family is physically well, but the home was a total loss. Any donations of any kind this evening are greatly appreciated at tonight’s Southern EasternGame and will directly benefit the Lamb family as our hearts truly go out to them at this time and all affected by yesterday's fire. Collection points will be available at entry gates, and at the concession stands. #StrongerTogether

Southern Local High School held its annual National Honor Society Induction Ceremony today, recognizing students for their outstanding achievements in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The event celebrated new inductees who exemplify the values of the National Honor Society in their daily lives.

During the ceremony, current NHS officers led the proceedings, sharing reflections on the four pillars of the organization and encouraging inductees to continue serving as role models within the school and community. Families, teachers, and administrators gathered to honor the students’ hard work and dedication.

The newly inducted members proudly took the NHS pledge, signifying their commitment to academic excellence, integrity, and service. The event was a meaningful reminder of the positive impact these students have on Southern Local High School and beyond.
