| CRHS students and staff "psych out" at our Homecoming pep session |
Did you know that only 1 in 4 high school students graduate with a guaranteed personal finance course? Financial education nonprofit Next Gen Personal Finance has recognized Cory-Rawson High School as one of 180 Gold Standard Schools in Ohio because we require a standalone personal finance course. Cory-Rawson has offered Financial Literacy as an elective in the past and the class of 2026 will be the first required to take the class, which covers budgeting, credit management, and more.
In addition to personal finance, we’re proud to provide a number of “real world” experiences to our students. At the foundation, our elementary school is a Leader in Me school. Students learn how to take responsibility, be proactive, how to set goals and track progress, manage their time, resolve conflicts, listen to understand, and to focus on self-improvement.
Our graphic design class partners with The Bluffton News to help produce advertisements and layouts - providing an authentic audience for our students’ artwork. Those with an interest in the outdoors and conservation utilize our school’s land lab, resources from the community and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in our environmental science classes. We consume a vast amount of data through different media - our data science class is dissecting real data, asking questions and learning how to best interpret and understand it.
This is all intentional - driven by our "Portrait of a Hornet", which was created by school staff, community members, parents, students, employers, and higher education personnel to determine what skills and attributes our students need to be successful in a rapidly-changing world. Communication, relationship-building, critical thinking, and resilience were all identified as the keys to success, no matter what pathway our graduates take as they move forward in life.
In our hearts, the green and gold,
Jay Clark
Superintendent
