We celebrate all the fathers and father figures today!
We are happy to congratulate two retirees from Sebring Local School District: Michelle Campbell (2nd grade teacher at B.L. Miller) and Carolyn Hollback (Intervention at McKinley).
We are so thankful for their countless contributions to our district, the enrichment they provided to their students, and their decades of service to our school. Please join us in thanking and congratulating these two outstanding educators in their retirement!
On May 14, 2025, we wrapped up the year with a festive Family Luau, attended by 159 students and family members. The celebration was filled with special moments and family-centered fun. We had 159 in attendance including students/families/staff. Parents completed the Spring Parent Survey and joined their children in a spirited round of "Pass the Family Coconut"—our tropical twist on Hot Potato—where teamwork ensured no one in the family was left holding the coconut!
Highlights of the evening included:
A unique ukulele performance by our talented 5th grade students
A beautiful Hawaiian Luau dance performed by students.
Hula Hoop and Limbo contests
A fun Hawaiian Tattoo Station where students and families could get festive designs.
We concluded the evening with heartfelt reflections as students shared their favorite memories and experiences from the SA6 After-School Program. It was a memorable way to celebrate a year of learning, growth, and community.
Success After 6 is back!
What We Are Learning Wednesday:
Third grade students were treated to a presentation from the Historical Society about how children learned and played in the past. Students observed a presentation and even had the chance to play with primitive toys that would have been used during recess.
It was a beautiful day to "Pie a Teacher" recently at B.L. Miller! Student Senate hosted the event as a fundraiser in which students paid for a ticket to "pie" a teacher. Student Senate also gave each participant an ice cream sandwich to thank everyone for their support.
Pictured is second grader, Dresden, winding up! A fun day for all (with the exception of the pied teachers😉)
We honor and remember the fallen who have served this country today, Memorial Day. We will see you tomorrow when classes resume.
When a chick from third grade's hatching project was born with a broken leg, sixth grade students hatched a plan to help!
Earlier this year, students in Mrs. Naples' class completed an orthosis project in which they created braces using the 3D printer for cerebral palsy patients. The project challenged students to create various prototypes for braces, scaling them to a variety of sizes. Students applied this concept to assist the chick.
Take a look at our helpful Trojans applying what they've learned to help Tiny the chick with a leg brace. Our helpful Trojans event made the news! Check out the news story here:

We have one full week left of school and a short week next week, Trojans! Let's swing for the fences and finish strong!
Our high school and middle school students took in a poignant presentation from an anti trafficking organization called “Free Three”.
The presentation enforced part of our Trojan mantra, "Trojans are respectful, responsible, and safe." Students were educated on what human trafficking is, the types of trafficking, who and how people are targeted, and how to stay safe.
The discussion empowered students with information that can help keep them and their peers safe; a paramount focus of our district. Please scroll to the second image for a QR code to be used if anyone is need of help.
We are proud to announce that our district has been the Auditor of the State Award for a clean audit for the 2024 fiscal year. Jennifer Drlik (left) from Auditor of State's Office presented the award to district Treasurer/CFO, Dawn Welsch (center), and Sherri Malloy (right), Treasurer's Assistant.
We conclude our Senior Spotlight series by recognizing the Top of the Class of 2025. Congratulations!
Our fighting Trojans have been working hard this Spring. Here is a special spotlight of our track athletes.
Mrs. Laure’s and Mrs. Householder’s third grade students have been patiently waiting for their chicks to hatch. Students have been learning about habitats with this interactive annual project.
Students have been tracking the progress of the eggs on a chart. They have also been journaling temperature and humidity each day. The chicks hatched on April 29 and now students will chart their growth. Check it out!
A big Sebring Shout Out to Allison Hoschar who achieved 300 career strikeouts for Trojan softball. Way to go Allison!
