Our elementary students had a wonderful opportunity to experience live opera right here at school!
We welcomed the talented resident artists from Toledo Opera for their Opera on Wheels performance of The Bear Who Couldn't Fish. Students were able to enjoy the storytelling, beautiful singing, and interactive moments throughout the show.
Experiences like this bring music to life in such a meaningful way, and we are so grateful to Toledo Opera for sharing their talents with our students!
A special thank you to Ottawa County Community Foundation for their generous grant, making the performance possible!

After finishing Chapters 6 & 7 of Lord of the Flies, Mrs. Curtis’ students took on a STEM challenge inspired by the “beast” on the island (aka a not-so-scary human in a parachute stuck in the trees).
Each tribe designed and built their own parachute, then tested them to see whose would float the longest. The tribe with the best float time won, but Mother Nature had her own plans! A few parachutes ended up stuck in the trees, creating some accidental “beasts” of our own.
Literature, engineering, and a little bit of unexpected chaos… just the way Golding would like it.

Friday morning, our middle school officially kicked off the Team Tressel Fitness Challenge, a statewide initiative championed by Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor, Jim Tressel. This program encourages students to set goals focused on fitness, nutrition, and mental well-being.
We were excited to welcome our challenge buddy, Jamal Luke, a member of the 2002 Ohio State National Championship Team. He shared an inspiring message about writing down goals, pushing beyond past accomplishments, and working each day to make yourself—and those around you—better.
We’re looking forward to seeing our students rise to the challenge and build healthy habits that last a lifetime!

Students in Mrs. Kaczynski's 9th grade English class are reading To Kill a Mockingbird. The upcoming chapters relate to the theme of conformity. Students were put into peer groups and asked to work together to vote on how they would react to specific scenarios (being a bystander, reacting to rumors, following the crowd, etc.). At the end of voting, students answered discussion questions relating to each scenario; it led to great classroom discussions that will relate well to the reading!

Our students in ELA II were deep into Lord of the Flies, and they recently tackled a “tribe challenge” inspired by the novel! 🌴
After reading about the boys attempting to build shelters, each class had to design and construct their own hut using only a limited set of supplies — including a Styrofoam plate, toothpicks, straws, pretzel sticks, a fruit roll-up, construction paper, and 12 inches of tape.
The results? Lots of creativity, teamwork, and problem solving!

Genoa Wrestling capped off an incredible season with its third straight top-15 finish at the Division III State Tournament (168 teams) at Ohio State.
🔹 Scotty Fuller (53–4) placed 3rd, finishing his career with 206 wins (2nd all-time at GHS) and becoming a four-time state placer and All-Ohio honoree all four years.
🔹 Tyler Abbey (50–10) fought through one of the toughest brackets to earn 5th place, sealing it with a last-second 7–6 comeback victory.
🔹 Luke Clement (29–5) battled back from a season-ending foot injury to qualify for state, finishing just one win shy of placing and ending his career with 126 wins and two NBC titles.
The Comets went 23–6, won the NBC duals, claimed their 4th straight NBC title, and finished 15th in the state with two placers.

Mr. Strickland's CCP ENG 112 students explored the impact of community service in a hands-on way! After responding to thought-provoking questions, their answers were shared with classmates. Working in groups, students analyzed these peer “sources” and practiced synthesizing real data to build strong, evidence-based arguments.
The halls were loud Friday as we clapped out our State qualifiers! 🤼♂️👏
Best of luck to our Comets competing at the State Wrestling Tournament this weekend:
🔥 Scotty Fuller
🔥 Tyler Abbey
🔥 Luke Clement
Your Genoa family is behind you all the way. Let’s go Comets! ☄️
In 7th grade math, students used the Smart Board to solve percent problems based on real stats from the Olympic Hockey Gold Medal game. They arrived at the correct answers using different strategies, proving there’s more than one way to solve a problem!

Congratulations to the GHS February Students and Athletes of the Month!
Congratulations to the GHS Comet Concert Band for earning an Excellent (II) rating at the OMEA District 2 Adjudicated Contest! 🎶
Through snow days, delays, and a late start to contest music, these students showed incredible dedication and growth. We’re proud of the hard work they put in and the way they represented Genoa High School! ☄️
Congratulations to the Genoa High School Choir on an outstanding performance on Saturday at the OMEA District 2 High School Large Group Adjudicated Event! 🎶
The choir earned a Superior (I) rating, qualifying them for the OMEA State Event. This is the first time the choir has qualified for state since 2020. While they earned that honor then, the state event was unfortunately canceled due to the COVID shutdown. The last time Genoa’s choir was able to actually attend the state event was in the 1990s under director Mr. Edwards.
We are incredibly proud of these talented students and their hard work. We can’t wait to see them represent Genoa at the state level! 👏

Friday, GHS students in grades 9–12 explored their futures at our Career Fair! 🎓
With 100+ career professionals representing skilled trades, healthcare, business, technology, civil service, and more, students had the opportunity to learn about real-world career paths. They also heard from guest speakers Jim Pollock from Junior Achievement and GHS graduate Nate Kehlmeier, Founder & CEO of the Recovery Institute of Ohio.
This event was organized and hosted by our Genoa Academic Committee (GAC). Thank you to everyone who helped make today possible for our students! 👏
