Upper Sandusky High School

A huge THANK YOU goes out to our very own Upper Sandusky Fire Department for providing some aerial support today as we repaired our stadium speakers. We greatly appreciate everything our first responders do for our community (even when it is not an emergency). A very special thank you as well to Capt. Orr and Capt. Young for their assistance. Ram Pride!

All student Chromebooks have been activated/enabled for the start of the 2024-2025 school year.  You will need to connect the Chromebook to a Wi-Fi connection somewhere before the disabled message will go away on the login screen, as the unlock command/policy is "in the cloud".  After this, please attempt to log in to make sure the Chromebook is working properly.  If you have any issues, please bring the Chromebook to the high school (where the I.T. office is located) BEFORE the first day of school so we can take care of your issue(s). If a student has forgotten their login password, email me requesting a password refresh (daryl_h@usevs.org).

Introducing the USHS Athletics Trophy Recycling Program The USHS Athletic Department in conjunction with the USHS Athletic Boosters, have begun a renovation of the gymnasium/cafeteria area of the high school in order to make the area more aesthetically pleasing and to update and upgrade the many athletic accomplishments currently being displayed in these areas. Currently, the areas mentioned are congested with large trophy cases which contain a significant amount of trophies that are several years old. The purpose of this project is to create additional space for current athletic accomplishments while still honoring the past achievements of our USHS student-athletes. In order to accomplish this purpose, the USHS Athletic Department is implementing a trophy recycling program as well as a digital “library” of past athletic accomplishments with the intention of creating more space. The trophy recycling program will remove any trophy from the cases that are over four years old from the current athletic year. These trophies will be available to community members for an auction style donation to the athletic department. The bidding will be closed after a week’s period of time and the highest bidder after that period will receive the trophy. This will allow the trophies to remain within our community rather than being destroyed. Before a trophy is “retired”, it will be cataloged into an “Athletic Excellence” database where it will be displayed digitally on a TV monitor in the lobby of the gymnasium for those who wish to view our rich athletic history. Trophies will be on physical display in the trophy cases for a period of four years before being “retired” via this recycling program. This program will exclude significant athletic awards such as State and Regional Tournament appearances and other designated accomplishments determined by the athletic department. These accomplishments will also be cataloged in the database. The intention of this program is to create more space in the gymnasium, lobby, and cafeteria as well as update and upgrade of our athletic accomplishments. The proceeds accumulated from this program will be utilized by the athletic department for use by our various athletic programs. The unused trophy cases will be relocated to other areas of the building to recognize other accomplishments such as music, band, and other programs that our school prides itself on. Finally, this program will continue to allow our athletic department to honor our past while bettering our future. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Athletic Director Blake England. The first two trophies that are open for bidding are: The 1971 Boys Golf NOL Champions The 1974 Boys Golf NOL Champions If you wish to submit a bid for either or both of these trophies, please use the link below. The deadline for the bidding is Wednesday, July 31st. Ram Pride! Link for placing bids: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XBEnEbONbZQ0iRNuF7_VxtAABGaSyIpejJ04SSn-1ds/edit
