District's Bullying Policy

"In accordance with the provisions of House Bill 276, each school district in Ohio is required to post bullying incidents on the school's website twice yearly.  The posted incidents, by building, reflect the bullying definition adopted by the Ontario Board of Education in August 2007.  The policy stipulates that bullying is an intentional written, verbal, or physical act that a student has exhibited toward another particular student, more than once, and the behavior causes either mental or physical harm to the other student.  The behavior is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for the other student."

Alumnus to Host Local Book Signing

 

Dr. Max R. Terman, a 1963 Ontario H. S. graduate and author, will be at the Barnes and Noble bookstore on Lex-Springmill Rd., Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 6 to 8 pm for a book signing for his latest Civil War novel, HIRAM'S HONOR: RELIVING PRIVATE TERMAN'S CIVIL WAR. Based on over ten years of research, Hiram's Honor dramatizes the experiences of a Richland County Civil War soldier who was captured at Gettysburg, sent to Andersonville, and survived! Illustrated with period and present day photographs and maps, it is a riveting story of suffering, friendship, faith, and survival against incredible odds. From the numbing terror of the battlefields at Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg to the grinding misery of the prison camps at Richmond and Andersonville, this book is a fitting tribute to the upcoming 150-year anniversary of the Civil War. Hiram's Honor can be examined at Amazon.com.

 

Golfers Have Great Outing & Warriors Benefit

 

The Ontario Warrior Football Golf Scramble took place on June 20 at Twin Lakes golf course.  Fourteen teams comprised of 54 golfers made up a very competitive field.  All individuals involved were there to show their support for the Ontario football program.  The day began with some suspect weather, but turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon!  The event, which was sponsored by 37 different businesses and individuals was very successful in generating funds for the football program.  The team comprised of Jim Weist, Larry Monica, Corey Monica, and Don Hoover fired a 15-under to win the inaugural event.  All golfers were treated to bagels from Panera before teeing off and hot dogs and chips throughout the day.  While the prizes were awarded, everyone enjoyed a steak dinner!

 

 

 Coach Kreger would like to thank all the individuals who helped make the outing a success.  "I would like to thank all of the people involved with the outing.  Without the sponsors, the golfers and all of the people behind the scenes this event would have never happened.  I look forward to this scramble becoming a yearly event that the supporters of the Ontario Football program can get together and kick off the upcoming football season.  It is nice to be able to get together in June and talk about football.  Next year, hopefully more individuals will want to be a part of the event and help the Ontario Football program grow."
