Are you the dad of a Pirate? Are you the grandpa of a Pirate? Are you the uncle of a Pirate? Are you a positive male role model for a Pirate? We want to recognize all of the positive role models who are supporting our Pirates!
All school offices, including school offices and department offices, will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026, for Juneteenth.
The end of the school year was busy, and we will be sharing those stories with you, including stories about some of our students! Meet Royce. He has been a Pirate since preschool, and he just finished 7th grade. His favorite subjects are math, because “I’m good at it. I like to solve problems,” and science, because “I like the labs.” Royce is an athlete and plays football and basketball. He also competes with the track team in high jump and sprints. He credits Mr. Ballard for helping him to get better at the high jump. His favorite sport is football, and he would like to continue playing in college and possibly the NFL. Outside of school, he likes to play basketball with friends, play video games, and spend time with family. Enjoy your summer break, Royce! We will see you back at school in August. #wcpiratepride #wcclassof2031

All schools and school offices will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026, for Memorial Day.
Monuments, Memorials, Museums, and More! That's what our Middle School students experienced on a whirlwind trip to Washington, DC. They may not have seen everything, but they saw a lot and learned even more.
Congratulations to Laylah J.! She placed first in the Middle School Track and Field Miami Valley League Championship in the shot put, throwing 39', 6 1/2". She outhrew her closest competitor by 5', .25". Winning the Shot Put qualified her to go to the state meet that was held this past weekend. Before the state meet, she sustained a shoulder injury and was unable to practice for a week. "I didn't use my arm the whole week." She said the week off from throwing threw off her timing, and she didn't perform as well as she had hoped, but she still placed 13th at the state competition, and we are PIRATE Proud of her!
Meet Gabby. She came to West Carrollton Schools in the middle of 6th grade. One reason she likes West Carrollton better than her previous school district is that “Teachers make a connection with you.” One of her favorite teachers is Mr. Vest. “He is theatrical about teaching. I learn a lot.” Her favorite subject is social studies because, “You know what happened versus not knowing what’s happening now.” She enjoys working independently as well as the open discussions in the classroom. Gabby thinks WC is special because of the difference in people and cultures, because “It gives me a view into other people’s lives.” While in Middle School, she has been a member of the National Honor Society and participated in ROX. She is looking forward to trying out for the softball team when she gets to High School. Gabby is considering a career in cosmetology because she enjoys working with hair and nails. “It’s fun to do things for other people.” She likes experimenting with different haircuts and colors and has already tried red, blue, blonde, green, purple, pink, and brown on her own hair. #wcpiratepride #wcclassof2030
Moms, grandmas, aunts, and all of the other women who are positive role models, thank you for supporting the Pirates! Enjoy your day.
We have been celebrating all of our teachers and support staff this week. Pictured are just a few of the people who are committed to giving every Pirate an opportunity to succeed. We appreciate all that they do!
We have been celebrating Employee Appreciation Week and recognizing all of our educators and support staff. We want to take the opportunity to honor two former employees who made a 3-hour drive to attend the Middle School Open House last week. Ed and Sue Abram wandered the halls and enjoyed the memories. Sue found her old classroom and stood by the door to have her picture taken. She enjoyed looking through old yearbooks and remembering the contributions she had made to them. Ed was able to pose for his picture in front of the "Industrial Arts" building, where he used to teach. He found that one of the display cases he had made was still on the wall in the front lobby. In another display case, he found the white football that he and his 1982 freshman team had signed. Ed and Sue Abram are proof that Pirate Pride continues even after you retire. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!
The past and the present came together at the Middle School Farewell Open House last week. Pictured are former school principals Augie Herman, John Runzo, and Doug Mescher, and current principal Eric Krissek. Thank you all for supporting the Pirates!
Today is Teacher Appreciation Day. Thank you to all of our educators throughout the school district who are empowering Pirates to learn, lead, and succeed!
Middle School students got to explore a variety of career opportunities today, including city services, the military, medical services, photography, and even beekeeping. Thank you to everyone who came out to give the Pirates a glimpse into what the future may hold!
Who are these masked heroes? They are some of the people who drive a school bus every day and make sure our Pirates get to school and back home. We need more heroes! If you are interested in becoming a superhero, we will help you get there! Contact our transportation department at 937-859-5121, ext. 7, for details.
