Harmonious Triumphs: Davidson’s Choral Excellence Shines in Competition

This weekend, the Hilliard Davidson Choral Department’s a cappella group, Blue Kids on the Block, competed in the ICHSA Midwest Semifinals competition hosted at William Henry Harrison High School in Cincinnati. The ensemble was invited to compete after winning first place in Quarterfinals, hosted at Bradley High School, several weeks earlier.

On Friday, Blue Kids on the Block won first place at the Midwest Semifinals Competition after competing against the top a cappella ensembles in the region. Additionally, Téo Mendoza won a special award for “Outstanding Soloist” and Makayla Clark won a special award for “Outstanding Choreography.” This extraordinary honor qualifies the group to compete in New York City at ICHSA Nationals against the top seven high school a cappella ensembles in the country! This is BKOTB’s first time competing in ICHSA competition and we are so proud of them.

Additionally, on Saturday morning, Davidson’s Symphonic Choir and Senior Choir competed at OMEA District Contest. Senior Choir competed in Class AA (the most advanced class), and Symphonic Choir competed in Class C. Both ensembles received straight superior (I) ratings both on stage and in the sight-reading room.

Congratulations to the Davidson Choral Department on their success at this weekend’s contests!

Change in Academic Calendar – No School April 8, 2024, for the Eclipse

Change in Academic Calendar – No School on April 8, 2024, for the Eclipse

Hilliard City Schools will make a shift in its academic calendar on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to our proximity to the total solar eclipse pathway. Students will not have school, but staff will report for a work day.

The April event will mark the first total solar eclipse visible in Ohio since 1806. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of our students and staff, the district has purchased eclipse glasses for every student and staff member. These glasses will be distributed to students before they leave for Spring Break.

Superintendent David Stewart stated, “Our area is expected to see a large increase in visitors who want to view the total solar eclipse.  This, in combination with concerns about safety as well as many families’ desire to view the eclipse, led us to this decision.”

Additionally, please note that there will be no high school sports practices or other extra-curricular activities scheduled that day until after 6 pm and only indoors.  All elementary and middle school after school activities will be canceled.

We are excited about this rare event and the learning opportunities it presents for our students. Thank you for your understanding and support as we make adjustments to accommodate this unique occasion.
