When the School for Creative and Per-forming Arts (SCPA) opened its new $72 million campus in August 2010, it also ex-panded its grade offerings to become the

fi rst K–12 public arts school in the nation. Rigorous training programs include technical theater, creative writing, and drama, plus a ballet program that is the only complete 4th–12th grade public school ballet training program in the United States. Of the 1,460 students enrolled at SCPA, about 900 are in kindergarten through 8th grades. SCPA student groups have performed in China, Italy, and Poland, with two ensembles garnering top honors at the World Choir Games Open Competition in July 2012. As proven by Sarah Jes-sica Parker and Carmen Electra, SCPA students are often destined for bigger spotlights after their time in school.

GLOBAL LEADER IN EDUCATIONAL

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

In 1996, Cincinnati Country Day

School became the first school in

the nation to integrate a one-to-

one computing program. Today, the

school is still on the global stage for

its ever-progressing integration of

Tablet PC technology. In the 2012–

2013 school year, CCDS was one of

just 30 schools worldwide to earn

a World Tour School designation, a

distinction given to schools whose

technology programs are deemed

worthy of emulation. “The goal is

for them to be showcase schools for

the rest of the world, to offer insight

and share what we’ve learned,” says

Rob Baker, director of technology.

Hosting multiple tablet conferences

each year for the past 11 years, CCDS

welcomes upwards of 90 educators

annually, having hailed from Europe,

Asia, Africa, Australia, and all corners

of the U.S. “We are indeed a lab for

the world,” Baker says. What’s next

for this forward-marching technol-

ogy program? Baker hints that 3D

printing has entered the school’s

conversation. “It’s a big deal in gen-

eral in technology right now,” he

says. “3D printing is sort of the next

big thing.”

W O R L D C H A M P I O N S H O W C H O I R

Thanks to FOX’s Glee, most people no longer have

to ask, “What exactly is a show choir?” But if you

still don’t know, look no further than Fairfi eld High

School’s Choraliers. Consisting of 46 singer/dancers, 14 instrumentalists,

and 12 tech members, the coed Choraliers ensemble snagged one of just 24

championship trophies at the 2012 World Choir Games with a performance

of Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” at the Aronoff Center.

“We wanted to make sure [our theme] was something that brought in a

lot of other cultures,” says Jeff Clark, director of choral activities. “It was an

awesome moment for us.” When it comes to selecting themes, the ambi-

tious crew likes to keep audiences guessing. Performances vacillate from the

ultra-dramatic (“Swing Kids” in 2013) to the super-fun (“Back to the Future”

for 2014). “We always try to top ourselves each year,” Clark says. “Our success

has been about evolving, not resting on our laurels. We’re always pushing the

limits as far as what we can do.”

Most Amazing Schools by Ladies’ Home

Journal in 2010, Clark Montessori is cur-

rently home to 661 students in grades

7–12. Its new, $18 million LEED-certified

building opened in August 2011.

Honored by The Center for Holocaust and

Humanity Education as a Voice for Human-

Holocaust education. Specially recognized

as regional Holocaust education pioneers are Upper School history

teacher Jeff Stayton—son of a concentration camp liberator—and

Middle School language arts teacher Rosie Sansalone Alway, who was

selected by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Wash-

ington D.C. to be a Museum Teacher Fellow for 2013–2014. Stayton has

been leading Holocaust lunch forums for students since the early 1990s

MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE MARCHING BAND

On November 28, 2013, the 274-member Lakota West

High School Marching Band performed in front of 3

million people on the streets of New York City for the Macy’s Thanksgiving

Day Parade. One of just seven high school bands chosen from across the

country, the students’ parade march was topped off with a one-minute,

15-second rendition of “Appala-

chian Spring” and “Fanfare for the

Common Man” by Aaron Copland

in front of the NBC national broad-

casting cameras. “The reason we

chose Copland was because he

wrote ‘Fanfare’ for the Cincinnati

Symphony,” says Greg Snyder, di-

rector of bands. “It felt pretty cool to

play it in a national spotlight since

we’re from Cincinnati.” The band is

already booked for the 2015 Rose

Bowl Parade, “one of the few bands

to ever go back-to-back between

Macy’s and Rose,” Snyder says. PH

Thousands of students learn as they give during charitable programs in local classrooms and communities. BY CAIT BARNETT

A MAYERSON SERVICE- LEARNING PROGRAMS

In the late 80s and early 90s, high schools nationwide started requiring community service hours. Mayerson Family Foundations sought to make this service mean-ingful and established the Mayerson High School Service Learning Program in 1994, explains director Clare Blanke-meyer. The program has supported the quality integra-tion of service learning within 120 regional high schools. Blankemeyer’s Northern Kentucky counterpart, Mary Kay Connolly, director of the Mayerson Children, Inc. Service Learning Initiative, has supported more than 200 region-al elementary and high schools with its service-learning initiative. These are not to be confused with community service projects.

“Service learning goes beyond community service,” Blankemeyer says. “Service learners become strong com-munity participants throughout their lives. If you start young and give all children the opportunity to give back, you see strengths not evident on a paper-pencil test come out of them.”

Students want something real in their educational ex-perience, she says. “When you sit in a lecture for an entire day and don’t see math, science, social studies, English, and community in action, it’s eight steps removed from

you. When you make it curriculum-based and meet a need, and someone’s thanking and praising you for what did, that’s education that comes to life.”

READING HIGH SCHOOL

Two years ago, math teacher Kari Blaeser decided to take her lessons beyond the classroom with math-based ser-vice-learning projects. She also started teaching an elec-tive course, Community Outreach. This past school year, her geometry students designed and built handicapped-accessible picnic tables for Stepping Stones Ohio, which helps children and adults with disabilities find pathways to independence, while outreach pupils volunteered some-where the entire semester. Blaeser is a passionate advo-cate for service learning, and rightfully so—she’s seen how powerful it can be for a teenager.

“I had one student who completely changed what she wants to do in college because of her experience working with kids at St. Rita School for the Deaf,” she says. “When she’s there, she’s glowing.”

MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL

In addition to having a 20-hour service requirement for its students, Milford High School works with New Voices,

According to a 2013 Charity Navigator study, Cincinnati is the fourth most charitable city in the United States. Given this reputation for philan-thropy, it follows that our children should be generous too. And they are. Quietly and consistently, students at schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky—public, private, high school, elementary school—are giving back in big ways. There’s also a service learning pedagogy that’s taken hold across the region, and it’s blazing the trail for youth philanthropy across the country. Here, a small sampling of schools and youth programs living up to our city’s charitable reputation.

a Cincinnati-based organization that connects local high school students with community members through the lens of a camera. One-on-one teams spend 12 weeks snapping photos and—more importantly—getting to know each other. The ultimate goal is to break down barriers.

This year, nine girls in art teacher Janelle Schunk’s pho-tography class collaborated with women residents at the Drop Inn Center, the largest homeless shelter in Cincinnati, and then turned their photos into larger-than-life silhouettes to be permanently installed at the center’s new West End loca-tion. Last year, her students worked with City Gospel Mission. Schunk says she brought the program to the school to both challenge her students and give their photography purpose. She’s done both.

“This program is life changing,” she says. “Students tell me they thought a shelter was where people sleep on the fl oor. They didn’t realize there are resources. They’re growing in their experiences, and it has given meaning to their work.”

NOTRE DAME ACADEMY

This all-girls Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky aims to educate young women to make a difference in the world. “And how better to do that than go out and serve oth-er people?” asks Bridget Price, campus minister and 2000 alumna. “It allows us to come out of the self centeredness we sometimes fall into and realize we’re just one part of a much bigger picture. That broadens our education and takes us to places we never thought imaginable.”

Freshmen volunteer at a random agency for a day, sopho-mores work 15 hours at a nonprofi t, juniors serve a local agency once a week for an entire quarter, and seniors take part in a philanthropy program. The 600 students here also undertake class-specifi c projects, like working with Yo Puedo, a self-empowerment program for young girls in Honduras.

GAMBLE MONTESSORI HIGH SCHOOL

There’s a mantra in Montessori education: follow the child. And that’s exactly how Jack Jose describes the school’s ap-proach to service learning.

“People characterize teenagers as very self-centered,” he says. “My experience in 20 years is the exact opposite. They’re very compassionate, but can’t always fi nd an outlet for that.”

During the school’s required intersessions, a model bor-rowed from Clark Montessori High School, instruction stops for two weeks as students partake in service-learning expe-riences, from studying ecology in the Smoky Mountains to studying social issues such as hunger and homelessness right here in Cincinnati.

“The idea is to give the students experiences,” Jose says. “That’s what adolescents want. We see higher risk-taking behavior among adolescents because they want new experi-ences. They’re yearning for a deeper connection, a diff erent way to understand the world they’re trying to fi gure out.”

Mayerson Service- Learning Programs

Cincinnati Christian Schools

CINCINNATI CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

One year after Donna Hempelmann became principal at the Cincinnati Christian Elementary School in Fairfi eld, she took some sixth graders with her to drop off food drive bounty at a local pantry. They brought enough to fi ll the entire facility, and then some. “They saw how much we had and they just stood and wept,” Hempelmann says. “It was impactful for our kids to see the diff erence they were able to make.”

That impact wasn’t always so obvious. When Hempelmann started teaching there 17 years ago, community service was cer-tainly important, but students didn’t quite grasp the meaning of it. She and other staff members set out to change that. Now, some 300 students regularly take part in food, coin, and book drives in addition to grade-specifi c projects. For instance, fi rst and second graders buddy up with local fi refi ghters and police, and third graders volunteer with the SPCA.

ST. THOMAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Around 200 students attend this small Catholic primary school in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, where service is part of their school-ing from kindergarten through eighth grade. Third graders cre-ated healthy cookbooks and sold them to benefi t St. Vincent de Paul, while seventh graders reading Oliver Twist created welcome kits for children entering foster homes. In another project, eighth graders taught preschoolers about homeless-ness and assembled toiletry kits for Parish Kitchen visitors.

As a mother of young kids herself, junior high religion and science teacher Laura Dennemann sees real value in integrating service into the curriculum.

“It’s so exciting as a parent to think how alive schools have become with this,” Dennemann says. “Students have such a connection to their curriculum. It’s not always sitting and memorizing stuff . We can balance out the learning with the application.”

ROCKWERN ACADEMY

The 150 students at this private Jewish day school in Kenwood—one of only two in Cincinnati—are never too young to give back. “Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for repairing the world,” explains Etti Scheier, coordinator of Jewish programming and outreach, who’s taught here for two decades. “We teach from a very early age that giving doesn’t just make someone happy, it makes you feel good and it makes God happy.”

From preschool to eighth grade, students take part in count-less service projects, including making puppets to send to Haiti and advocating for recycling. More recently, fi fth, seventh, and eighth-graders decorated rain barrels for Save Local Water’s an-nual Rain Barrel Art Benefi t.

MOUNT NOTRE DAME

Todd Forman is a teacher at this private all-girls Catholic high school in Reading, but it’s service coordination that keeps him busiest. Projects vary, from four annual service trips to Liberty, Kentucky to work on organic farms, serve at a children’s home, and help the elderly to a sophisticated philanthropy program Forman oversees. In fact, he heads youth philanthropy for the entire region as the program director of Magnifi ed Giving, a non-profi t currently working with 50 schools to educate, inspire, and engage students in philanthropy. Each school receives $1,000 plus $250 in matching grants for students to award area non-profi ts after reviewing proposals.

KENTON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

When Tim Hanner was superintendent here, he brought togeth-er high schoolers from around the county and asked them two questions: What would it take for all students to be successful? And what can you do to impact that success?

“They came up with the goal: We need to do more in the el-ementary schools, beginning with literacy skills and continuing with engaging students in meaningful activities,” he says. “You can’t wait until high school. Out of that came Hanner’s Heroes.”

Hanner’s Heroes continues today, with 322 elementary and high school students participating in the one-on-one reading and mentoring programs. Hanner has since retired (these days he is president of NaviGo College and Career Prep Services and heads up the Northern Kentucky Youth Advisory Board for Children Inc.), but the program he created continues to fl ourish alongside a slew of other projects. For example, fi fth graders at Kenton El-ementary campaigned to save a local Civil War battleground, and a seventh grade class at Summit View Middle School is raising and releasing trout while studying population in Kentucky streams.

WW E L C O M E T O T H E 2 0 1 4 S C H O O L S G U I D E , Cincinnati Magazine’s most comprehensive guide to nearly 400 schools in Cincinnati USA. Designed as a re-source for both new and established families, the Schools Guide off ers relevant and up-to-date in-formation on schools throughout the Cincinnati USA region. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new school for your kids or you’re just checking up on your old alma mater, the Schools Guide is a one-stop shop for essential school information.

Because the Cincinnati USA region spans three states, the Schools Guide is organized by state, and listings con-tain state-specifi c data for each school and district. Additionally, the Guide lists some national data, such as ACT and SAT scores.

For public schools, we include the district and the high schools within that district. All private schools, including elementary and middle schools, are listed. The public school data was collected from both the dis-trict and the Department of Education databases for Ohio, Kentucky, and In-diana. Private schools are not required to divulge data to the state, however, many have voluntarily reported theirs to the Guide.

In Ohio, the Department of Edu-cation is in the process of changing the way public school performance is measured. Some new data points are available on this year’s report (all listed as percentages), however, full reports won’t be released until next year.

BELIEVE.At Cincinnati Christian Schools, faith and learning go hand-in- hand. For more than 40 years, we’ve developed a unique and proven educational model which infuses out-standing academic preparation with a Christ-centered, biblical outlook and approach.

BELONG.We understand that each student is uniquely and wonder-fully made, from the precocious preschooler to the dis-cerning high school senior. With Christ as the common bond, our differences— the unique God-given passions and talents—find room to grow and develop. Our small size and attentive personal approach opens doors to op-portunities not available in other schools or programs.

BECOME.Cincinnati Christian Schools create lifelong learners, cre-ative thinkers, passionate disciples, and visionary leaders. Our graduates are welcomed at a variety of universities and other institutes of higher learning because they’ve become the natural learners and inquisitive students of life God created them to be.

So you think college is a long way off and you don’t need to plan just yet? Think again . “The old idea that when you

are a junior in high school you start thinking about college definitely doesn’t work

anymore,” says Ann Larson, director of admissions at Miami University. These

days, college planning can begin as early as the eighth grade. As competition to get

into top colleges increases, so too does the need for early preparation. According

to Samuel Schottenstein, who co-founded Scholar Compass, a company that helps

students get accepted to the school of their choice and score scholarship opportu-

nities, it ’s never too early. “We offer programs for any age, middle school and up, but

we have a team of tutors that can help prepare younger students as well.” Whether

you enlist a company like Scholar Compass or navigate the college-prep journey

on your own, there are plenty of steps you should take along the way, starting in

the eighth grade. This isn’t a complete list, of course, but plenty to keep in mind.

PREP

8 th G R A D EL E A R N H O W T O L E A R N . Developing good study habits now will make your life a lot easier down the road. “Universities are very interested in transcript; by starting in middle school you can better prepare,” Larson says.

B R E A K O U T O F YO U R C O M F O R T Z O N E . Try out for the tennis team. Take classes to learn a new language. Join the science club. Now is a great time to try something new.

AT T E N D A S U M M E R I M M E R S I O N P R O G R A M O R V I S I T A C O L L E G E . “There are so many programs out there to attract middle school students that expose them to everything from Ivy League schools to scholarship opportunities,” Schottenstein says. Contact a local college or university to learn more about its programs.

S E E S O M E P O T E N T I A L . “Some students pick a college in elementary school; some might not even think about college before high school,” Larson says. If you haven’t been dreaming of the perfect school since the second grade, now is a great time to start looking around.

TA L K T O YO U R PA R E N T S . “We believe in educating all of those who are involved in the decision-making process, especially because the college planning process has changed so much over the years,” says Chris Candelaresi, who with his father founded the Plan the Way Foundation, which provides resources to help Cincinnati-area families in the areas of college planning, career preparation, and financial literacy. By having a conversation about college early, families can better begin to prepare.

10 th G R A D ETA L K T O A C O L L E G E G R A D UAT E . “Don’t be afraid to ask your teachers about their college experiences,” Lar-son says. Parents, friends, and relatives also make great resources.

K N O W W H AT YO U N E E D T O G E T I N. Most colleges and universities require you to take the SAT, ACT, or both. Visit their websites to fi nd out, and take a look at resources to help you prepare and study for the exams. SAT: collegeboard.org; ACT: actstudent.org

S TA R T A N A C A D E M I C R E S U M E . Remember that ac-tivities log you started in the ninth grade? Now you need one that includes classes you’ve taken, as well as any aca-demic awards that you receive (think honor roll or perfect attendance). Having it written down ahead of time will make those endless college and scholarship applications a little easier.

P I C K S O M E P R I O R I T I E S . Are you hoping to get away from your home town? Dream of a school with tiny class sizes? Long for an urban campus? Make a list of your top priorities in choosing a school. This will help you narrow down the search.

9 th G R A D EJ O T I T D O W N . Remember those hours that you spent cleaning up a local park a few months ago, or the date that you joined the soccer team? You probably won’t when it comes time to apply to college, so start a log of all of your extracurricular activities, including everything from vol-unteer work to sports to any awards that you earn.

C H A R T A C O U R S E . Know the basics of high school scheduling, and which courses colleges will expect you to take. “You need to consider whether you are going to take those AP or honors courses, which will be harder, but may put you on a better track to college,” Larson says.

M E E T W I T H A G U I D A N C E C O U N S E L O R . Schools of-ten require that students begin meeting with a guidance counselor in the ninth grade to begin choosing classes for later years. “Find out how to make the most out of high school,” Candelaresi says. Don’t forget that these coun-selors work with older students as well, and will be able to answer questions you have about preparing for college.

R E S E A R C H G R A N T S A N D S C H O L A R S H I P S . Know which grants and scholarships you want to go after, and begin to estimate what college is going to cost you.


11th G R A D ET A L K T O Y O U R F A M I L Y A B O U T P A Y I N G F O R C O L L E G E . Although scholarship opportunites are avail-able to every student, few will cover all expenses. Decide who will be paying for what isn’t covered to avoid any last-minute surprises.

S TA R T S C H O L A R S H I P S H O P P I N G . “Use the U.S. De-partment of Labor’s scholarship search to fi nd scholarships for which you might want to apply,” Candelaresi says.

S TA R T C O M PA R I N G . By now you’ve done some research, so start making a list of schools that you are interested in. Compare them, rank them, or list what you like or don’t like about each one; pick the method that works best for you.

M A K E A V I S I T. Plan to visit at least a few of the colleges and universities that are at the top of your list. Many col-leges off er special visit days, but you can always call and schedule your own visit at a diff erent time.

P O S E A Q U E S T I O N . What are the meal plans like? Are the dorm rooms air-condi-tioned? Does the school have a rowing team or debate club? Once you decide what colleg-es you plan to visit, think about what you’d like to know about that school, and make a list of questions to ask while you visit.

S E T T H E R E C O R D S T R A I G H T. You worked hard for those grades and test scores. Now it’s time to send them out to potential colleges and universities. The ACT and SAT let you choose several schools to send your scores to for free; additional scores for other schools will cost you a fee.

C O M P L E T E YO U R FA F S A . Even if you don’t think you will qualify for fi nancial assistance, most colleges still re-quire you to complete your FAFSA. It won’t cost a dime, and it can be completed after taxes are fi led during the end of a student’s senior year.

D O N ’ T M I S S T H E D E A D L I N E . Pay close attention to deadlines. Scholarships, college applications, FAFSA, let-ters of recommendation—everything comes with a strict due date.

N O T I F Y T H E W I N N E R . The hard work is over. Now you need to notify the school that you have decided to attend, as well as the ones that you are turning down. Then, sit back and enjoy summertime before your college journey begins.

informatics.nku.edu

Some time ago, Northern Kentucky University created something completely different; a college built around the art, science, technology, and business of information - with communication at the center. It was an experiment. We worked with philosophers, biologists, and historians; put software engineers alongside journalists and paired app developers with health informaticists. Our bachelor’s in data science was among the fi rst in the country. We have a strong cyber defense team. Students in our unique virtual co- op program have written mobile apps for Fortune 100 companies and two- person startups. Above all, we are transdisciplinary and experiential.

The excitement is growing. The experiment is working.
