MEJH is looking for volunteers!
Miami East Junior High is excited to announce that we will be providing our 8th grade students an opportunity to learn a little about life as an adult. Volunteers are needed in order to make this an impactful activity for our students. On May 19, 2023 all 8th grade students will have the opportunity to take part in a real-life simulation. Students will choose a career, receive a monthly salary, and be invited to make purchases that adults make each month. Stations will be set-up where students can deposit money at the bank, make a house payment, pay for child care, buy groceries, and make other purchases that are typically found in a monthly budget. Volunteers will be provided full information that describes in detail what to do at each station. We would love to utilize volunteers at stations that connect to their area of expertise.

Ranking Ohio’s school districts from 1 to 607 based on the stars they received on new state report cards
Posted Sep. 16, 2022 Cleveland.com
While the new Ohio school report card gives a star rating to various categories, there is no overall star grade assigned for this year. So cleveland.com calculated the total score for all 607 districts reported to show which schools scored the best across the board.
The Miami East Local School District Ranked #32 out of 607 School Districts statewide.
Not only was the District #1 in Miami County, Miami East High School scored 5 stars (highest rating possible) in all areas of the report card (Achievement, Progress and Gap Closing). In the area of "Progress", there was "significant evidence" that students made more progress than expected. In addition, MEHS had a 99% graduation rate.
Current job openings and substitute positions are posted under "Viking News" on the Miami East Website.
