TechOlympics 2023: Electrify. The Adams County Chapter of Interallliance was in attendance with the 6th largest amount of students in the state!
The Ag Business class had a special gift come early this week in honor of National FFA Week! Meet Kevin! He’s a brand new baby bull calf born to our 6404 cow out of a bull named Gold Standard and we are excited TJ welcome him to our CTC herd! Students last year in the Ag Business program used timed AI to artificially breed our cows for a February 27th due date. “Kevin” was a week early, but is as healthy and as spunky as can be! Students were able to palpate the cows and try their hand at estimating the arrival date earlier on, and today they tagged and banded Kevin. He is enjoying his freedom with his mother and doing great! Welcome to the family Kevin!
Statement concerning Social Media Threat.
On Wednesday evening February 22, 2023, a former student at WUHS shared a meme on social media with other students causing concern. District SRO staff were immediately notified along with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, who were already working the case. The student was taken into custody and with the help of the ACSO, CPS, and Shawnee Mental Health, all determined that there was no threat to the school or anyone else. Due to reposting by those who received the original post, along with adding additional text, there have been further concerns about the safety of multiple schools in the district. District SRO staff and the ACSO continue to monitor the situation and there is no current threat to students, staff, or buildings.
Adams County FFA Chapter members gathered at Church 180 this morning for worship service and to enjoy some pizza and fun playing games afterward. Thanks to North Adams FFA for hosting us this year!

Juniors in the Early Childhood Education program read the story “Snow Family” last week and participated in some fun follow up activities including painting with a combination of shaving cream and glue for a unique texture and appearance.

The OVCTC FFA participated in Toys for Toys this past Christmas season sponsored by the United States Marine Corps. In addition, Bane Welker in Georgetown sponsored a local competition for participating FFA chapters to gather the most toys. From their efforts, the members gathered 1162 toys! The chapter also earned a donation of $1000 from Bane Welker in Georgetown, Ohio. With the $1000, the students chose to donate $500 to local CTC students devastated with home fires and loss, and the other $500 to the Shop With A Cop Program! The OVCTC FFA would like to thank the following sponsors and participants for helping make our event a huge success!
