ICMS Makerspace Unlocks New Learning Opportunities for Students

It’s exciting to see Indian Creek Middle School’s STEM Media Lab in action! Formerly the media center, the space got a makeover in 2024 to become a makerspace featuring 3D printers, interactive flat-screen TVs, VEX robotics, STEM Dremel machines and heat presses. This project was made possible thanks to the help of several dedicated staff members and administrators, in addition to Shawn Villamagna of Riverview Tee Designs who donated one of the heat presses. In our STEM Media Lab class, pupils in grades 5-8 are already preparing impressive projects and presentations with this cutting-edge, high-tech equipment. We can’t wait to see how students use the makerspace to explore the digital world and expand their learning in 2025 and beyond!

Indian Creek Programs Empower Students to Succeed

We know that every student is unique. Our goal is for every Creek student to graduate ready for enrollment in college, employment in a great career or enlistment in service to our country. That’s the motivation behind our Career Pathway Success Plans that students begin exploring as early as third grade.

Enrollment

For college bound students, Creek offers opportunities to earn credits while still in high school in College Credit Plus. ACT/SAT preparation and tutoring and other college admissions support is also provided.

Employment

This year, our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs expanded, thanks to funding from the Ohio Career Technical Education Equipment Grant Program. Pathways now include Natural Resources, Performing Arts, Business, Engineering Design, Interactive Media and more!

Enlistment

Students who choose the enlistment path are able to ready themselves for military service, learning what options are available to them within their chosen branch of service and the skills required for that role.

Creek is the way to go. We are just the right size – able to give each student the personalized classroom attention they need – with all the programs and extracurricular activities that empower students to climb as high as they want!

Farewell to Treasurer Denise Todoroff

After more than 22 years of dedication to our district, Indian Creek Local School District Treasurer Denise Todoroff wrapped up her tenure at the close of 2024. A Wintersville resident and Kent State University graduate, Todoroff’s efforts over the last two decades have been vital in supporting the needs of our district and students. We wish her all the best as she looks forward to spending time with her family and new granddaughter, Sophie! We’re also excited to welcome successor, Adam Lewis, with full confidence in his ability to carry on Todoroff’s legacy and move the district forward.

Hellbender Conservation Efforts at ICHS

ICHS is the first public school to partner in saving the endangered salamander, the hellbender. This exciting CTE program is made possible thanks to a grant from the ODNR Aquatics Wildlife Education and partnerships with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Toledo and Columbus Zoos. Recently, Indian Creek High School students in the natural resources pathway showcased their conservation efforts during presentations to state leaders and zoo officials at the Columbus Zoo. Eight students gave engaging presentations highlighting their hands-on efforts in biosecurity, data recording, and care for nearly 20 juvenile hellbenders and their ambassador, Chief. Through this innovative program, ICHS students studying forestry have also gained valuable lessons on forestry-related topics while contributing to the care of the hellbender salamanders.
