Versailles High School

On Saturday, Versailles High School competed in their first ever Aerial Drone Competition at the Greene County Career Center in Xenia. At the competition, students complete Teamwork Matches. In these matches, teams are randomly paired up. The pair of teams try to score as many points as possible in 90 seconds. Points are scored by flying through and around arches and rings, moving balls to various parts of the field, and making precise landings. Students also get the opportunity to work individually. Individually they fly the drone to score as many points as possible in one minute. They also program the drone to score as many points as possible without any human interaction. The Versailles teams had a very successful day. Out of 30 teams, they placed 3rd, 6th, and 10th.

On February 21, 2024, as part of National FFA Week, some Versailles FFA Members, staff, and students helped make tie blankets for the event Blanket the World. The students and staff were able to make twenty blankets to send to Rustic Hope in Russia, Ohio. Thank you to everyone who helped make the blankets!

Schedule confirmation for girls and boys basketball on Tuesday GBK vs. Waynesville @ Covington is at 5:30 pm BBK vs. Arcanum @ Butler is at 7:30 pm Thank you to all the host schools for helping make the changes to help our community support both teams.

Good evening Tigers. This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with a fun and exciting message of community engagement to the Versailles community. This evening we are proud to announce "The Versailles Voices Project" This is an open invitation to all Versailles stakeholders...Versailles staff, students, and community members. We want to hear from all perspectives on this. Below are a few examples of what will become posts which we will share regularly on our Social Media channels as well as the Versailles Schools app. We are looking for short quotes that you would love to share with the community as a whole about what you love about the School District as well as the greater Versailles community. There is not a "correct" format for your response. We just want the comments to be genuine and to come from your heart, but we've provided a few example "starters" to get you thinking about what this might look like for you, if you choose to participate. Click the link below to participate. Please Share so others can participate. Please encourage others to participate as well. Let's make this go viral! We can't wait to see where this goes!
