Highlands High School senior 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿 has been named a semifinalist in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. This is such a prestigious honor!

Students enter the National Merit Scholarship program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
More than 1.2 million juniors in about 20,000 high schools enter the National Merit Scholarship Program each year. The awards, valued at nearly $24 million, are underwritten by NMSC® with its own funds and by approximately 260 business organizations, higher education institutions, and individual donors.

In September, these high scorers are notified through their schools that they have qualified as either a commended student or as a semifinalist. More than two-thirds receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise, and approximately one-third are notified that they have qualified as semifinalists. From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, 95% are expected to attain finalist standing, and approximately half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.

The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships established in 1955. For more information about the competition, please visit NMSC’s website at www.nationalmerit.org.

Please join our District in congratulating William on such a wonderful achievement!

Our community connectivity is one of the hallmarks of our shared success in Fort Thomas!

On Thursday and Friday before Labor Day weekend, 1,100 grandparents and special visitors spent part of the day at Johnson Elementary visiting their wonderful Jaguars at school.

It was a delightful Grandparents Day for all involved!
We had the best time and let's see each other again soon.

These are such exciting times for our seniors in the Class of 2027 and their family members.

Highlands High School counselor Laura Schnitzler led a meeting in the Performing Arts Center at Highlands High School to lay out a roadmap for what to expect as seniors make their postsecondary plans throughout this academic year.

Thank you for such an informative session!

Congratulations, Coach!

The Fort Thomas Independent Schools would like to salute our outstanding Highlands High School softball coach, Milt Horner, for earning regional acclaim as a finalist for the 2026 Cincinnati Reds/MSA Sport Coach of the Year honor this past summer.

Coach Horner made the trip out onto the field at Great American Ball Park for a recognition ceremony, just weeks after the Bluebirds went on a thrilling run to the Final Four of the 2026 KHSAA softball playoffs for the first time in program history.

Coach, from all of us in Fort Thomas, congratulations and thank you for everything you do for the program and for our community!

This is such a well-deserved honor.

To our Fort Thomas School Community,

Now that the calendar has turned to May, from now until the end of school our students at all levels of instruction will be taking tests of all kinds. Our District wants to extend our best wishes!

Get a great night's sleep.

Please join us in congratulating Highlands Middle School 8th grader 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝, whose brilliant writing shines on the national stage.

In the 2026 Scholastic Art and Writing Competition, Sand earned National Medalist distinction! Historically, fewer than 1 percent of all submissions from across the United States are deemed worthy of National Medalist acclaim. This is such a wonderful honor!

We are so incredibly proud of Reagan and all of our writers and artists at HMS who took part in the competition this year.

Congratulations!

𝐌𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥! How about that for a fantastic achievement to celebrate?

Principal Peter Winkler made the special announcement at Friday's all-school assembly, known as the Mustang Roundup, and asked, "What is a Lighthouse? It shows the way."

Lighthouse certification recognizes Moyer's world-class performance in implementing the 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 program in virtually every facet of teaching and learning at the Ranch. A foundational premise is that everyone at Moyer can blossom as a leader, and 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 concepts have become woven into the very fabric of what it means to be a Moyer Mustang on a daily basis.

Think of Lighthouse certification as the equivalent of becoming an Eagle Scout in the 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑒 program.

There are only ~700 Lighthouse schools around the world, and we have two in Fort Thomas! Woodfill Elementary achieved Lighthouse distinction in 2025.

An accomplishment of this magnitude can only come about from an exemplary team effort. Thank you to our students, staff, teachers, administrators and to our wonderful families and surrounding community members for their shared vision and dedication to excellence.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

It’s time to make room for another state championship memento in the trophy case at Highlands High School.

And we can’t wait to do it!

Congratulations to the boys and girls swim and dive teams at Highlands High School for winning the combined state championship this weekend in Lexington.

They performed brilliantly and trained so hard all year long to be successful on the diving board and in the pool for the state competition.

Well done to all! Enjoy the championship.
