Join us in recognizing Chris Stein for his four years of dedication and service to Beavercreek City Schools as a Board of Education member. Chris' term will conclude at the end of the year, December 31.
Thank you, Chris! 🧡🖤
This week's staff spotlight is Lukas Schweikert, our freshmen world history teacher and middle school cross country and track coach. ⭐⭐⭐
Lukas has been teaching in the district for two years and coaching for five. He says two of his favorite quotes are "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" and Mr. Roger's quote, "You make each day a special day by just you being you." He believes every student is unique and has their own special gifts. As long as they give their best, every day of teaching is a special and fantastic day.
Lukas also says that many individuals have influenced his career. "As a Beavercreek grad, Class of 2012, many teachers in the district directly influenced how I teach and coach. To name a few, Mr. Enneking, Mrs. Ford, Mr. Vinson, Mr. Dave Miller, Mr. Cusick, Mr. Ahrns, and Mr. Schaadt all helped instill my love of history and how to teach it. Mrs. Group, Mr. Group, Ms. Egan, Mrs. Pope, Mr. Willets, Frau Humphrey, Mrs. Russ, Mrs. Nartker, Mr. Wegley, and Mrs. McDaniel showed me the importance of student relationships and how they foster educational growth. These teachers showed that if you care about a student, they will push themselves to learn. I would be remiss if I did not mention my actual family, my DPS family, and my Ferguson family (shoutout to Mr. Kelly, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Gilbert for being the best social studies department!)
Happy Holidays!
There is no better way to celebrate the first day of winter than with the start of winter break! ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️
No school for students starting tomorrow, Friday, December 22, through January 5. Enjoy your time off, and we will see you after the new year.
Mrs. Fouts' 7th-grade health classes at Ankeney wrapped up their muscular system unit by creating life-sized diagrams. Students got to tap into their creative side while choosing a theme and decorating their projects. It's clear the district has some true #Swifties, as one of the groups created a #MuscularTaylorSwift.
Hannah Johnson, kitchen manager at Valley Elementary, is this week’s staff spotlight! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hannah has been with the district for two years and hopes to teach students the importance of kindness. She says, “Acts of kindness make the world a better place for everyone.”
Hannah’s parents are to whom she attributes her success, as they have always supported and encouraged her. They also modeled a good work ethic and strong values growing up.
If there is one thing she hopes people know about our district, it would be that we have so many wonderful staff members, and our students are always the top priority!
Main Elementary is bustling with activities for the season. The school held its school shop, which allowed students to take time to shop for gifts to give to their family and friends. We had"special wrappers" who took the time to volunteer and help make all the gifts purchased even more special for our students, and Santa even made an appearance!
There was also a tree lighting for the first time at Main! Beavercreek High School student council spearheaded the night, which included hot chocolate and a holiday performance. #TheBestTimeOfTheYear ⛄️🎄🎅

It was a great day at our elementary buildings as we welcomed back half our kindergarteners today. The halls were filled with much excitement! We can't wait to welcome the other half tomorrow.
Check out these awesome shirts and artwork we saw at Main. #BcreekSchools #GoCreek
Today was a great day for learning as we had various staff professional development going on. Our BHS teachers learned about ways to use data to inform instructional strategies. Our middle school teachers spent time collaborating to learn more about the characteristics and needs of our students and how we can better support them, and some of our elementary staff spent time learning more about emotional intelligence.
Fifth Grade Ambassadors at Main Elementary met recently to build as a team and learn about their new leadership role this year. These students will help teachers, PTO, other staff members, and students throughout the school year. We are excited to see our Ambassadors lead this school year.
Join us tonight for Open House Night! Each of our buildings will host an open house for students and parents to stop by and meet teachers, get acquainted with the building and classrooms, and get ready to start the school year off next week.
Recently, Main PTO sponsored a STEAM program for all of the students by a group called Challenge Island. Each grade level team chose activities that are aligned with select cross-curricular standards. These STEAM activities ranged from topics related to animal habitats and adaptations, gravity, part structural engineering, and several more. The kids had so much fun! Thank you Main PTO!
