Ashland High School seniors Azaleah and Owen were honored this week by Superintendent Dr. Joseph Hattrick, who presented them with special black graduation honor cords in recognition of their service as student representatives to the Ashland School Board. These cords mark their leadership and commitment to amplifying student voices throughout the year. Azaleah and Owen's advocacy and dedication have made a lasting impact on both the board and their peers—congratulations to both on this meaningful distinction.

Ashland School District Families,
Although our crews were out working on our facilities the entire day, there is still work to be done to get our campuses safe for staff and students. Additionally, with road conditions hazardous for many in our community and the next storm front delivering new stow tonight and freezing temperatures until late morning, the Ashland School District will be closed Friday, February 7. We wanted very much to be ready to have students and staff back at school tomorrow but conditions simply do not provide a safe return to school. Our team will continue to work throughout the district tomorrow to ensure campuses are ready as soon as the weather permits us to return.
Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate these winter storms.
Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
