INDIAN HILL EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT MINUTES – May 23, 2023

We congratulate Indian Hill Primary School (IHPS) teacher Amy Campa for leading second-grade students to win the Southwest Regional Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) Design Challenge. Additionally, Campa’s students earned two of three Student Choice awards for grades K-5, taking the top prize for Most Innovative and Best Presentation. Campa's class identified environmental security within our community as a problem they would want to work together to solve. They focused on birds and designed bird houses and bird baths to help birds survive in all seasons. They also designed seating for students to come out and enjoy the space. A big thank you to the parents and community members who donated bird feeders and bird seed!

We celebrate the IHHS Model United Nations (UN) team after students traveled to Wright State to participate in the Model UN Competition on Saturday, April 15. During the competition, students were assigned a country to represent in a committee that functions just like the actual United Nations and participated in a debate concerning international geopolitical topics. IHHS student Jenna O’Driscoll was awarded one of only two Honorable Mention Awards presented to delegates in her committee.

We congratulate Indian Hill High School students Sophia Chen and Jackson Kaster for achieving third place in their Entrepreneurship Team event during the DECA International Career Development Conference. Chen and Kaster were two of seven students representing Indian Hill during the trip in April to Orlando, Florida, competing with more than 22,000 students from seven countries. Additionally, Hollis Chan earned a top test score medal in the Marketing Communications Series event. Other Indian Hill students who made it to the international competition include: Conrad Bennett, Crisper Chabris, Jenna O'Driscoll, and Pranav Rastogi. DECA prepares the next generation to be academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, and experienced leaders.

We celebrate IHHS Senior Reese Tuttle who was selected to highlight Ohio’s In-Demand Jobs Week in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). In IHHS's auditorium on May 1, Tuttle talked IT with Ohio Department of Education (ODE) Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Stephanie Siddens and a team of top educators. The conversation included discussion on sustainable measures in IT pathways, including IH's Experienceships and The BIG Pitch. The visit was part of In-Demand Jobs Week celebration, with a focus on career pathways in IT.

We salute the 73 students inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS) on Tuesday, May 2. In addition, IHHS congratulates teacher Aaron Debbink who was voted honorary National Honor Society staff member and Quinten Carter who was voted honorary student for the 2022-2023 school year. Senior NHS Pillar Award recipients included Kunal Ranjan, Ninah Foad, William Dalton, and Joseph Kayne.

We celebrate the outstanding achievement in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning at Indian Hill Primary School and Indian Hill Elementary School. Both buildings were recommended for recognition by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN), achieving the status of best in the state for STEM learning after receiving the ODE/OSLN STEM Designation. Mr. Koennecke and fellow administrators surprised educators at each building with a cake as they made the announcement public on Tuesday, May 16. While the surprise was exciting, both building principals say the real joy comes from the deep learning their students experience during each day of the school year.

We congratulate the Indian Hill Quiz Team for finishing 21st place in the National Academic Quiz Tournament (NAQT). We celebrate the strong play of IHHS students Connor Coffman, Jacob Ruby, and Ethan Brown, who each ranked in the top 20 percent of all participants. Additionally, our team competed at the Ohio Academic Challenge (OAC). The OAC is played by schools of all sizes throughout Ohio; this culminates with a regional and state competition for qualifying teams. Indian Hill qualified for regionals, which were held April 15 at Little Miami High School and placed third, to narrowly miss qualifying for the state. Congratulations to the entire Indian Hill Quiz Team on a successful school year, including students, Ethan Brown, Vedant Buch, JC Chen, Connor Coffman (captain), Elijah Fanek, Andrew Hu, Jacob Ruby, and Derek Zee.

We celebrate all IHHS students who participated in the JustWrite State Competition at the University of Findlay in Ohio on May 11. Sophomore Lillie Waltz won third place overall for Division 1, competing against 125 students, by scoring first place in multiple rounds, including one round where she earned a perfect score. Brave competitive writers also included Hannah Kremer and Grace Wang.

Congratulations to our OSBA Business Honor Roll Members for 2023: IH Foundation; Loth; MSA; SchoolsIn; and Shared Vision Communications.
