Dear Parents,

On Monday, November 8th, we held an informational meeting for students and parents interested in the College Credit Plus Program.  Many of you requested that we post the PowerPoint presentation, so we have added a link for you to access our notes from the meeting.  

PowerPoint From CCP Meeting

If you were unable to attend the meeting, feel free to review the notes.  If you would like further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact Kristen McPeek in student services at 419-884-3454.

This program enables students in grades 7 - 12 to earn high school and college credits simultaneously by taking college courses from a college or university.  The purpose of the CCP program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-bound students.  Colleges and universities will admit students based on their college-readiness.  Students who will enter grades 7- 12 and meet all the college entrance requirements are eligible to participate in the fall of 2022.

Here at Lexington, we offer students two ways to participate in the College Credit Plus program:

• The first is for the student to attend classes on public or private college or university campuses. The college or universities where the course is taken will grant the college credit for the course. Classes may also be taken online depending on the college or university.
  
• The second is for the student to take a ‘dual enrollment’ class offered at the high school campus (a list of our courses at LHS are enclosed).

If a student decides to take a college course for both college and high school graduation credit at a public college or university, there is no charge to the student for the costs of tuition, textbooks, materials, or fees for the first time a course is taken as long as the student earns a passing grade. 

A ‘Letter of Intent to Participate’ must be completed and submitted to your child’s counselor by Friday, April 1, 2022 along with a remediation free ACT score. The Intent to Participate letter can be found at https://forms.gle/JdL8PJuwchrqEea17.  Additional information about the College Credit Plus program can be found at www.ohiohighered.org/ccp.

During the month of January, students will schedule classes for the 2022-2023 school year.  We are proud to offer many options for you and your child to consider as we begin that process.  We currently offer dual-enrollment courses through Ashland University and Bowling Green State University.  This means that students can earn up to 36 college credits without having to leave our campus.  The current classes offered at LHS are:

 *CCP courses may be added or deleted each year due to enrollment, staffing or contracts with universities.

As you can see, we are committed to providing the best possible options for our students to advance in the college-credit plus program.  By partnering with Bowling Green State University and Ashland University, we feel our students are prepared for college and those credits earned at LHS are transferable to any state school in Ohio and many out-of-state schools and private universities.  By adding more course options at LHS, the necessity to drive out to the branch to take classes really does not exist anymore, unless they wish to take a course we currently do not offer.

In my professional opinion, we have caring and compassionate teachers that will provide extra support and guidance each day for your student’s college and/or high school coursework. My hope is that the motivation for not taking college classes at LHS is valid, and not based on the freedom to leave early from school each day.

Finally, I ask that you have honest conversations with your son or daughter prior to the scheduling of classes in January and encourage them to stay home and enjoy their junior and senior year at LHS.  High school is a once in a lifetime experience that all our students should value.  Thank you and feel free to contact me at 419-884-1111 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I want to share with you the evacuation protocols for the High School should we ever be in that unfortunate situation. Our plan meets both evacuation scenarios, one where the building needs evacuated, and one where the district is being evacuated. The High School evacuation protocol would be the same for both scenarios.

Lexington High School Evacuation Protocol:

• Students will relocate to the bus garage in classroom groups.
• Parent notification will be communicated via text alert and various media sources.
• Parents may pick up their students at the bus garage by following the Pickup Procedures listed below.
• Student drivers will be released after law enforcement deems it safe for them to go to their vehicles, only if school has been cancelled.

Parent Pick Up Procedures:

• Dismissal begins once attendance has been taken and all students have been properly accounted by their teacher, administrator or school personnel.
• Parents will form a loop line in the bus garage parking lot. Do not park your car in the lot.
• A photo ID must be presented to pick up your student.
• If someone other than the primary parent or guardian is sent to pick up your student, staff will refer to the emergency contact list on file.
• Staff will radio for your student to be released from the bus garage and will place your student in your vehicle.
• All students unable to be picked up will be bussed home after a period of time. This information and exact timeline will be communicated via text alert and various media sources.

Student safety is a top priority at Lexington High School. We will continue to take necessary precautions, review and revise safety protocols as needed, work with local law enforcement to create a safe learning environment, and practice safety procedures with students to ensure they understand how to respond should a crisis occur.

Thank you for allowing us to educate your students. Continue to encourage your student to communicate concerns to us, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. You can reach me by phone at 419-884-1111, or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Sincerely,

Kevin Young, Principal

Planned Absences: Parents are reminded that any planned absence is to be pre-arranged, in the office, with at least two days advance notice with a note. This would include college visits, medical appointments, out of town trips and funerals.

Notes for student absences that are not received within five days of the absence will result in the absence being permanently recorded as an unexcused absence.
