What an amazing Sunday in Fort Thomas.
School festival season has arrived and Woodfill has started our elementary schools off on a tremendous note with the Big Top Festival this weekend.
On Sunday, we experienced perfect festival weather for the Noon-6pm carnival festivities, and we have such a wonderful PTO that raises money that goes right back to our Wildcats to enhance the already amazing experience at Woodfill.
Thank you to all who attended, organized, volunteered, sold a record number of raffle tickets and worked so hard to rally behind Woodfill. It was an A+ weekend!
It wouldn't be September in Fort Thomas without Big Top at Woodfill.
The weekend festivities began in earnest this afternoon with an all-school assembly to award popsicle and pizza parties to the classes that sold the most raffle tickets. Top individual sellers got to soak Mr. Gesenhues with buckets of ice water.
This evening, our unmatched community support was once again on full display with a packed house for the spaghetti dinner and a sample of the carnival games that the region will enjoy on Sunday.
Bring your family, friends and neighbors because everyone is invited to the festival!

"Grandma and grandpa, let me show you my work and where I sit."
"Come over here and meet my teacher!"
"Let's take a picture with the Mustang."
It's simply a wonderful start to the day when our grandparents and special guests visit our Fort Thomas students in school, and over the course of the next two days we will have these kinds of memorable beginnings to the school day at Moyer Elementary.
Unmatched community connectivity has been an ingredient in our academic and extracurricular success for generations, and the same holds true today.
Thank you for such a great Grandparents' Day today.

Hello Fort Thomas families! It wouldn't be September in Fort Thomas without the much-anticipated Big Top Festival along US-27 at Woodfill Elementary School.
The weekend will start with the traditional spaghetti dinner on Friday and culminate with the festival this Sunday: games, face painting, and a carnival-like atmosphere with the world famous dunk tank.
Food, family, friends, fun and Fort Thomas: a great combination as we start school festival season in our great city.
The amazing PTO works tirelessly on this fundraiser to invest the money right back into Woodfill.
The whole community is invited.
See you this weekend!

Students enter the National Merit Scholarship program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
More than 1.2 million juniors in about 20,000 high schools enter the National Merit Scholarship Program each year. The awards, valued at nearly $24 million, are underwritten by NMSC® with its own funds and by approximately 260 business organizations, higher education institutions, and individual donors.
In September, these high scorers are notified through their schools that they have qualified as either a commended student or as a semifinalist. More than two-thirds receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise, and approximately one-third are notified that they have qualified as semifinalists. From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, 95% are expected to attain finalist standing, and approximately half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships established in 1955. For more information about the competition, please visit NMSC’s website at www.nationalmerit.org.
Please join our District in congratulating William on such a wonderful achievement!

On Thursday and Friday before Labor Day weekend, 1,100 grandparents and special visitors spent part of the day at Johnson Elementary visiting their wonderful Jaguars at school.
It was a delightful Grandparents Day for all involved!
We had the best time and let's see each other again soon.
Highlands High School counselor Laura Schnitzler led a meeting in the Performing Arts Center at Highlands High School to lay out a roadmap for what to expect as seniors make their postsecondary plans throughout this academic year.
Thank you for such an informative session!

The Fort Thomas Independent Schools would like to salute our outstanding Highlands High School softball coach, Milt Horner, for earning regional acclaim as a finalist for the 2026 Cincinnati Reds/MSA Sport Coach of the Year honor this past summer.
Coach Horner made the trip out onto the field at Great American Ball Park for a recognition ceremony, just weeks after the Bluebirds went on a thrilling run to the Final Four of the 2026 KHSAA softball playoffs for the first time in program history.
Coach, from all of us in Fort Thomas, congratulations and thank you for everything you do for the program and for our community!
This is such a well-deserved honor.

Hot off the presses!
Hello Fort Thomas families. We have been back together for a week now and what a fantastic start it has been to the school year.
Our 2026-2027 District Calendar will soon be coming home with students in Fort Thomas and it is such a great way to stay connected to all of the academic and extracurricular happenings in our school community.
Keep an eye out for it!

To our Fort Thomas School Community,
Now that the calendar has turned to May, from now until the end of school our students at all levels of instruction will be taking tests of all kinds. Our District wants to extend our best wishes!
Get a great night's sleep.
Eat a good breakfast.
Do your very best!
We have had a fabulous 2025-2026 academic year together and let's finish up strong over these last few weeks!

In the 2026 Scholastic Art and Writing Competition, Sand earned National Medalist distinction! Historically, fewer than 1 percent of all submissions from across the United States are deemed worthy of National Medalist acclaim. This is such a wonderful honor!
We are so incredibly proud of Reagan and all of our writers and artists at HMS who took part in the competition this year.
Congratulations!

𝐌𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥! How about that for a fantastic achievement to celebrate?
Principal Peter Winkler made the special announcement at Friday's all-school assembly, known as the Mustang Roundup, and asked, "What is a Lighthouse? It shows the way."
Lighthouse certification recognizes Moyer's world-class performance in implementing the 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 program in virtually every facet of teaching and learning at the Ranch. A foundational premise is that everyone at Moyer can blossom as a leader, and 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 concepts have become woven into the very fabric of what it means to be a Moyer Mustang on a daily basis.
Think of Lighthouse certification as the equivalent of becoming an Eagle Scout in the 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 program.
There are only ~700 Lighthouse schools around the world, and we have two in Fort Thomas! Woodfill Elementary achieved Lighthouse distinction in 2025.
An accomplishment of this magnitude can only come about from an exemplary team effort. Thank you to our students, staff, teachers, administrators and to our wonderful families and surrounding community members for their shared vision and dedication to excellence.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
