We’d like to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us PACK THE BUS last night! CCSD is committed to continuing helping to fight food insecurity in our district and community. Your donations will go a long way to help those in need! 💙🚍 We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Downtown Chillicothe for their support and help with this project!

Don’t forget to help us pack the bus TODAY, from 4:00PM - 6:00PM!

Mrs. Stepp’s 8th grade science class used stream tables to observe the effects of erosion and deposition. Students watched as their “streams” carried sediment to a new location, creating a delta at the end of their catch basins. This was a great hands on lab to teach students about water erosion!

Last night, we recognized our Chillicothe Middle School staff for their consistent hard work and dedication, and celebrated their exemplary State Report Card results! We just want to say again how proud we are of these staff members!

Flipping pancakes and celebrating good choices! 🥞🎉

Our teachers and principals are serving up breakfast with a side of pride for all the students who rocked that good behavior the first nine weeks!

Chillicothe Middle School achieved truly outstanding marks on the Ohio School Report Cards that highlight our success in moving students forward:

Chillicothe Middle School: Exceeding Expectations

Gap Closing Component: 5 Stars! CMS Significantly Exceeded State Standards in closing learning gaps. This confirms that all student groups- including gifted students, English language learners, special students, etc. - are growing faster than their peers at other schools. CMS is the only middle school in Ross County to earn 5 Stars in Gap Closing over the past 3 years.
