Vermilion Athletic Department Offers Youth Camps...
The Vermilion High School Athletic Department has a variety of camps that will be offered to local youth this summer.
These are great opportunities for young athletes to enjoy a healthy activity, meet friends and learn more about a sport they are interested in. All of the camps are directed by members of the VHS coaching staff. Assisting the coaches are members of the JV and Varsity teams who really enjoy getting to help and encourage the camp participants.
Linked below are the registration forms for several camps and payment can be made on-line:
Have a great summer! And – GO SAILORS!

Schools win awards from BWC:
The Vermilion Local School District has been awarded two safety awards by Ohio BWC Division of Safety and Hygiene.
The 100% Award is given to organizations that work an entire year without a lost time injury, and the Special Award is given in recognition of organizations who accumulate at least 500,00 work hours and at least 6 months without a lost time injury.
It takes all of us working together to create a safe and healthy working environment. Congratulations to all of our employees for achieving these outstanding awards. Special thanks to the Safety Committee for their dedication to achieving our safety goals.
A message from our superintendent:
On behalf of the Vermilion Board of Education, students, and staff, we would like to welcome you to our district website.
We are very proud of our school programs that enhance the lives of learners of all ages. There are valuable programs that assist parents raising their infants, full day - every day Kindergarten, high quality classroom instruction, college level courses taught in our high school, and adult education classes for mature citizens to earn their GED.
The product of collaborative work is yielding award winning accomplishments. Our high school has won the "Gold Award" from the High Schools that Work program, placing us among the top high schools in the nation. VHS also consistently earns an "Excellent" rating from the Ohio Department of Education - no high school in Ohio, public or private, is rated higher. At the elementary level, Vermilion Intermediate School has won the "High Achievement Award" which is given to the top 5% of Ohio schools making the most rapid academic progress over a three year period. As a district, we have had five consecutive years of increasing student attendance, student achievement, and graduation rate. All of these are now at historically high levels for our district. This profile of success is one reason why Vermilion is the proud recipient of the "What Parents Want" award, which is given to only the top 15% of all school districts in the nation.
We will do whatever we can to assist you in making your interaction with us pleasant, enjoyable and rewarding.
Thanks for visiting! GO SAILORS!

Energy Project Saves District $250,000 Annually...
Energy costs are a concern to all of us as prices continue to soar.
As part of keeping our facilities safe and comfortable, the Vermilion Board of Education also has taken steps to stretch our monies as far as possible. Under the guidance of the Ohio School Facilities Commission and the Ohio Department of Development innovative ways were found to get necessary maintenance done and pay for it through energy and utility savings.
As we plan for the future, studies of alternative energy sources will be made to determine the feasibility of wind, solar and other technologies. The most recently completed project also involved fixtures that reduce water consumption including some that are completely waterless.
A presentation was made by Bruner Corporation representatives at the April 14 Board of Education meeting to close out the project. I hope that you will take the time to view the attached slides for more details.

Revised Smoking Policy...
As a matter of policy, the Vermilion Local Schools do not permit smoking or the use of tobacco products in any building, at/near the entrances or exits to the buildings, anywhere on school grounds or at any school related event. Providing a tobacco free environment is consistent with the role modeling of adults for our students.
