A high-flying day for Boardman High School students at the Drone Showcase!

Students from the BHS Drone Program spent the day at Williamson Airfield, joining peers from 10 area schools for hands-on flight experience and career exploration.

They had the chance to pilot drones, connect with industry professionals, and ask questions about future opportunities. Students flew drones with the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department and First Choice Drone Company, and also spoke with representatives from the U.S. Air Force about careers in aviation and technology.

Real-world learning in action—and the future is looking up!

🌟 BGJHS Spartans of the Month 🌟 This month, BGJHS is proud to recognize students who may not always seek the spotlight — but consistently show us what it truly means to be a Spartan every single day. Nominated this month by our science and specials teachers, these students stand out for the qualities that make our school community stronger. Teachers described them as students who demonstrate outstanding work ethic, show respect, lend a helping hand, communicate positively with teachers, maintain a positive attitude, treat others with kindness, and stay focused and on task. Their actions may be quiet, but their impact is powerful. We see you! 👏 Congratulations to our Spartans of the Month! And a special shout out to our teachers who recognize these admirable traits in our BGJHS students.
