Congratulations to the Class of 2025! We would like to thank everyone who attended the graduation ceremony this past Friday and thank you to all those staff and administrators who attended and helped to set up for graduation.
We are honored to announce that the Edgewood Middle School music department has been awarded the 2025 Support Music Merit Award by the NAMM Foundation. Edgewood Middle School's music department was one of only 87 schools chosen from across the United States to earn this year's honor.
The NAMM Foundation website explains that, "The SMMA Award recognizes individual schools for their support and commitment to music education. It is a 'school-only' distinction awarded as part of the Best Communities for Music Education program. "
This marks the second consecutive year that Edgewood Middle School's music program has been awarded this national honor.
This honor comes right on the heels of both the 8th-grade band and 8th-grade choir's being awarded the highest scores of Superior at their respective festival trips. Both groups represented Edgewood with pride in both the scores they earned and the high praises from the judging panels.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Fields and all our students involved in Edgewood Middle School's music programs!

8th Grade Band Success at Kings Island Competition
Last weekend the Edgewood Middle School band performed at the 2025 Music in the Parks, Kings Island competition. The 8th grade band earned a top rating of Superior, also winning their class with a 1st place trophy and 1st place for overall Jr. High/Middle School bands. We are so proud of these kids and their hard work.
Last Thursday night, EHS Senior, Lexi Drake was honored at Miami University's Art Museum for her work as an intern.
Lexi is a 4-year American Sign Language (ASL) student at EHS. Through EHS's new Career Internship class Lexi was placed at Miami University's Art Museum. At the museum, and eventually all 5 of Miami's museums, Lexi integrated American Sign Language into the museum's content and led a seminar on De'Via Art that was attended by Miami's faculty, staff and students (De'Via Art is a distinct art movement created by and for those who are deaf). Lexi created online exhibitions and researched accessibility content that changed the practices of Miami's Museum partners. She also benchmarked what other facilities should do for accessibility content.
After graduation from EHS, Lexi plans to attend Sinclair Community College to complete her ASL certification to become an interpreter.
