Meet Me at the 50 - A new tradition formed as seniors and kindergartners meet at the fifty yard line. A testament to how fast time passes by and how important connection is within our school district.
Many thanks to the kindergarten team for initiating this special project and coordinating every aspect of the logistics. Additional thanks go out to our BHS staff and Mr. Williamson, our seniors, Justin Spivey for capturing drone footage, and our communications department for creating the video.
Enjoy!

We are Purple and Gold, but we are Red, White, and Blue first!
What an honor to unveil our new Military Wall of Honor! This patriotic display is located prominently in the Butler High School Alumni Atrium and will serve as a way to honor BHS veterans for many years to come.
This project would not have been possible without the support of our local AMVETS, American Legion Post 668 Vandalia Ohio, and VFW. We are grateful for their partnership and support!
We will continue to update our boards annually each May. For more information on how to be included, visit our website here: https://www.vbcsd.com/our-district/military-wall-of-honor
