On Monday, September 21 at 1:00 PM, Chillicothe R-II staff will be conducting and participating in an Intruder Exercise at CES as part of our ongoing work to support school safety and preparedness.
During the exercise, you will see police and emergency vehicles at CES, but there is no emergency. This is a planned training.
Please also note: There is no school on Monday, September 21—it is a Planned Professional Development Day for staff.
Thank you for your support as we continue to prioritize safety for our students and staff.
Our substitutes make a real difference each day—supporting students, helping staff, and keeping classrooms running smoothly. If you’re looking for a flexible, meaningful way to support our schools and community, we’d love to hear from you.

Our CMS B & A Volleyball teams travel to Trenton for a great night of volleyball at Trenton High School:

Bring the energy from the first serve to the final point - loud cheers, big digs, and strong swings! Good luck, Hornets… play together and have fun! 🖤❤️🏐
7th grade Engineering is officially underway, and our students just wrapped up the Tallest Spaghetti Tower Challenge!
Using only 20 pieces of dry spaghetti and 1 meter of tape, teams had to design a tower tall enough to compete - and strong enough to hold up a classroom item (all the same mass). Along the way, they learned a lot about criteria and constraints, the importance of teamwork, and that everyone’s ideas have value.
Next up, they’ll be exploring real-world tower design and engineering, including structures like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and One World Trade Center in New York City.
And of course… congratulations to the 7th grade hour winners pictured - because let’s be honest, everything is a competition in middle school!
Also, fair warning: this is harder than you might think… that’s why it’s called a challenge!
Chillicothe School District is looking for substitute teachers!
