Our Physical Science students are diving into chemical bonding! 🧪
Through hands-on modeling, they are exploring how elements become ions and what happens during that process.
Making the invisible visible through learning! 🔬

Our Chemistry students have been hard at work bringing science to life! 🧪
Students explored what a mole of a pure substance looks like across different materials, gaining a better understanding of just how massive 6.02 x 10²³ particles really is.
They also put their measurement skills to the test by analyzing objects to determine how many atoms or molecules they contain.

What an unforgettable experience for our marching band!
On April 1, 2026, our students had the incredible honor of marching down Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. From the energy of the crowd to the excitement of performing in such an iconic place, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
These students represented our school with pride, talent, and heart every step of the way. The early mornings, long rehearsals, and dedication all came together in the most magical way.
We couldn’t be more proud of this group and the memories they made together.

Our district has been working toward earning the designation of a Purple Star School District. This recognition highlights a strong commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families, and the unique challenges they may face.
April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, and we look forward to celebrating and recognizing these students and families.
One event to mark your calendars for is the statewide “Purple Up” Day on April 22.
Lyndsey Borjas has designed a special shirt for the occasion and has invited us to share the order link. If you would like to purchase a shirt, you can do so here: https://purpleup26.itemorder.com/shop/home/
The order deadline is April 5, and shirts will be delivered to the school and sent home with students and staff. An image of the shirt is attached. Two dollars from each shirt sold will be donated to Ohio Military Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and support for military-connected youth across the state.
If you have any questions or ideas, we would love to hear from you.

Environmental Science finished up our study of agriculture. In our final lab, students checked how soil salinization (from irrigation) can affect seed germination. We used soybeans placed in salinity conditions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. Then, students checked their soybeans for germination on day three. Class data indicated that seed germination is severely affected at salt levels above 1.5%.
🌸 Spring Break Reminder 🌸
Just a reminder that Spring Break will be March 30–April 6. There will be no school during this time.
We hope our students and families enjoy a well-deserved break! Take this time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the start of spring. Whether you're traveling or staying close to home, we wish you a happy, safe, and refreshing week.

On Thursday, our Spanish Honor Society hosted the Emanuel Concert. Emanuel is 17 years old and touring with his family from Argentina. The concert featured songs completely in Spanish! Five other schools also attended which created a crowd of 250 people. The concert celebrated Hispanic culture and the Spanish language. It created a great chance for students to practice their Spanish outside of the classroom and have fun! Luna Oslzweski sang a duet with him. By the end of the concert, he was given a Genoa basketball shirt as a thank you by Mr. Routson!
We are excited to welcome to David Clark and Bill Howard to the Genoa Area Local Schools Team!
Bill has joined the District in our open maintenance position. Over the past five years, he has worked in maintenance at a residential and senior living community in Sandusky, bringing valuable hands-on experience to our team.
David Clark is joining us in the newly created role of Director of Facilities and Operations, supporting the overall care and upkeep of our campus. He brings more than 25 years of experience in the field, including the last 16 years in maintenance and supervisory roles.
We are excited to welcome both individuals to the Comet Community and are confident their impact will be felt immediately.
