Our Blanchester 6th graders took their learning on the road today with a field trip to the Cincinnati Museum Center!

It was a fun-filled day of exploring, discovering, and making memories with classmates. Experiences like these bring learning to life and give our students opportunities to explore the world beyond the classroom!

When FC Cincinnati steps onto the kick, every player matters. The same goes for our classrooms!

When students miss school, our entire team feels it. Did you know that missing just 2
days of school a month adds up to missing 10% of the school year? That’s almost a
full month of lost learning, hands-on activities, and time with friends.

Let’s show up strong this season! Every day in class is a goal scored for your future.
⚽ Stay in the Game! Attendance Matters.

Welcome, Mandy Baynes!

Blanchester Local Schools is excited to welcome Mandy Baynes as our new High School Art Teacher!

Mandy brings years of experience as an art educator and has spent time teaching in Tennessee, where she inspired students to explore their creativity and develop their artistic talents. She has been happily married for 17 years and is passionate about creating a classroom where students feel encouraged to express themselves and grow through the arts.

When she's not in the classroom, Mandy enjoys gardening, reading, cooking, camping, and spending time with her church community. She also loves adventure and has memorable experiences snorkeling with sea turtles and hiking Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Mandy's creativity, experience, and enthusiasm for education make her a wonderful addition to Blanchester High School. Please join us in giving her a warm Wildcat welcome!
