Bucyrus School Board Sets Course for 2026 with Unified Leadership and a Focus on Stability

Dear Bucyrus High School Families,

Our students have had a fantastic first semester and we appreciate all the work your entire family has put in to bring about these successes. We are excited about all the second semester has to offer including our musical, prom, and of course, warmer weather.

The top half of the year saw Grade Point Averages rise for 81% of our juniors, 73% of the sophomores, 55% of our seniors. The average GPA for each of those classes also rose for the semester.

Bucyrus High School’s partnership with the Crawford Success Center and the TurboCert program had three students work toward their drone pilots’ license this fall, while three other students started their year-long phlebotomy coursework. In TurboCert’s third semester, we have 11 students looking to gain industry credentials in 5G broadband, robotics, drone operation, and phlebotomy.

Our second quarter PBIS rewards day featured a trip to the YMCA or a movie for the 102 students that earned the reward. The afternoon outing saw students play basketball, pickleball, racquetball, swim, and more. To earn the reward, students need zero unexcused absences (medical or accepted parental notes if absent), no time in our Alternative Learning Center, and no more than one detention for the quarter. Our next reward will be after the third quarter.

Our Advanced Manufacturing class will be teaming up with Forge Fire & Company for work in marketing, product design, cost analysis, and manufacturing of products. Our students will team up and pitch their design to business representatives who will then decide which team will move on to create the end product.

Bucyrus took 31 students to the University of Findlay for the district DECA competition. We have 24 students advancing to the state round. Congratulations to all who participated.

Thank you all for helping our students be successful. Warm wishes and Go RED!
