Message from the Superintendent
Dear Princeton Community,
 
It’s hard to believe that 2022 is soon coming to a close! As we wrap up this calendar year, I remain thankful for the continued growth and successes of our students, the dedication of our staff members, and the support of our families and community.
 
I especially want to share my gratitude for our Princeton parents, guardians, and caregivers. I thank you for the privilege of educating your children and honor you as our students’ first and foremost educators. You play a critical role in their social, emotional, and cognitive development. Your partnership and support continue to build the Princeton Advantage and impact our teachers, our schools, and your children’s educational journey. Thank you!
 
The fact that our Princeton community is such a unique and special place to call home is never lost on me. We live in an incredible place where we work hard to lift each other up and treat one another like family. I sincerely hope that during this season of gratitude and giving, you have the opportunity to spend time with people you love doing whatever it is that brings you joy. And for those who are navigating this season with difficulties, please know there are resources and people who care about you. 
 
Enjoy your winter break. I look forward to a bright New Year filled with positive energy and possibilities.
 
Respectfully,
 
Tom Burton
Early 2023 graduate from the Innovation Center, Shakhzod Michael Tilyayev is heading to Parris Island, South Carolina, for Marine Corps training. Michael maximized his learning opportunities at Princeton by participiating in the Navy Jr. Reserve Officers Training Corps.

A military signing celebration to recognize his enlistement was held on Thursday, December 15th in the Viking Room at the Princeton Administration Center.
Senior Varsity basketball guard, Solè Williams  became the 12th player to score 1,000 career points or more during their Princeton high school basketball career.

The first-team All-Ohio selection from last season reached 1,000 career points in just 56 games.

Coach Dee Davis says, “Solè Williams has achieved in three years what most people won’t experience in four years of high school basketball. She missed an entire season due to injury and has come back in full force while turning the heads of many.”
Congratulations to Coach Andre Parker for receiving the Bengals Paul Brown Excellence in Coaching Award.

 The Bengals are working with ESPN to highlight Coach Parker during the pregame coverage on ESPN prior to the January 2nd, Monday Night Football game.
