Youth Court
Warren County Juvenile Court is introducing a Youth Court program which will provide an alternative approach to juvenile justice for youth who commit certain misdemeanor offenses.
There are volunteer opportunities available for any high school student who lives in Warren County (current 8th grade students can apply now for next Fall) and are interested in participating in its Youth Court program. As part of this program, students will be part of actual court hearings by serving in the roles of judge, bailiff, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, and jurors. Local attorneys and law students from nearby law schools will mentor the youth attorney. Youth court hearings will be set on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month beginning in the Fall of 2021. Applications can be accessed on the Juvenile Court website at: www.co.warren.oh.us/probate_juvenile/. For more information, click here.

COVID-19 School Information |
COVID-19 Health Information
As a reminder, it is critical that if your student, or a family member in your household, has been tested for COVID-19 and you are still awaiting results, please remain home until the results of the test are known. Do not have your student report to school while you are awaiting results. Also, if your student or a family member in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home to self-quarantine.
Do not report to school if either of these scenarios apply to you or your family. Only, if we work together, as a district, as parents, and as community members can we continue to maintain a safe school environment for all of our students and staff.
