As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, it's nice to be reminded that hard work and community support creates continued, sustained excellence. Our students and staff are second-to-none, and we are bolstered by a community that values educating the whole child. Congratulations to Pettisville High School for ranking 3rd in the Toledo Metro Area, and 36th statewide. The best part? We aren't done yet. The best is still to come!
Continued excellence, forward progress!

📚✨ FREE BOOKS... AGAIN! ✨📚
Our library shelves are making room for new adventures… which means some of our old books are looking for new homes! 🏡❤️
Some might be a little worn, but they’re still packed with stories, facts, and fun. There is a mix of elementary picture books, junior fiction, junior non-fiction, and historical non-fiction + biographies. Perfect for building your own library, decorating a cozy reading nook, or even crafting projects.
🚀 Grab as many as you’d like before they fly away! You can find them under the main entrance awning. First come, first served!
The Blackbird Café is back and ready to serve up some delicious breakfasts and lunches!

'Twas the Night Before August
Twas the night before August, and all through the halls,
Not a creature was stirring... not even dodgeballs.
The lockers were silent, the whiteboards were bare,
While echoes of laughter still hung in the air.
The pencils were sharpened (well… maybe just one),
The custodian’s waxing was finally done.
The lunch trays were stacked in the kitchen with care,
In hopes that no mystery meat shows up there.
In the teacher’s lounge fridge sits a lunch from July,
(If you open that Tupperware… may the odds be on your side.)
The Chromebooks are charging, the Wi-Fi’s alive,
The school is just waiting for students to arrive.
And deep in the library, eerie but neat,
A stack of old yearbooks fell off its seat.
The beanbags were fluffed, the bookmarks in place,
The old legend claims there's a haunted bookcase.
So rest up, young Blackbirds, while summer still gleams,
Because August is knocking with schedules and dreams.
Your teachers are prepping, their lesson plans tight—
Happy Last Day of July… and good luck sleeping tonight. 😄👻

The Pettisville Board of Education will hold its July meeting on Monday, July 14th at 8:00 PM. This meeting is open to the public.
Since we’re already on a roll with planning... let’s talk school supplies! 🎒✏️
Yes, it’s still summer.
Yes, your kids are hopefully still barefoot and covered in popsicle juice, or lost in a great book.
And yes... It’s officially time to start hunting for that one oddly specific folder and a glue stick that isn’t already dried shut. 😅
