Her dedication to getting stronger and consistently putting in the work has paid off, making her a key contributor to our team’s early-season success. At the highly competitive Waynesville Invitational, Daisey earned 1st place in shot put and 2nd in discus. She is not only a strong athlete but also an excellent student and a supportive, positive teammate.”
Ava Thompson (HS Girls Track)
Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “Ava Thompson has been an asset to the team so far this year. She has been asked recently to step in and run a few events she wasn't planning on during a meet and has exceeded my expectations. She set PR's in the 800 and mile this week. Ava always has a smile on her face and such an encouraging attitude to her coaches and teammates. I am excited to see how the rest of the season goes for Ava.”
Lee Cox (HS Boys Track)
Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “Lee has been a nice addition to the team this year. This past week he had his best performance in both the 400 and 800. Lee works hard and always gives his best. He has been a valuable member of both the 4x400 and 4x800 relay teams. I feel like this is just the beginning of a tremendous season for Lee.”

Valley View Middle and High Schools Earn Purple Star School Designations for Outstanding Support of Military Families
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce has officially named Valley View Middle School and Valley View High School Purple Star Schools for the Class of 2025, recognizing their exceptional commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families.
The Purple Star designation is awarded to schools that meet rigorous criteria established by Ohio’s Purple Star Advisory Board. These standards reflect a school's dedication to understanding and addressing the unique social, emotional, and academic challenges faced by military families, especially during times of transition.
"I am pleased to inform you that Short Middle School has successfully met these standards," the ODEW shared in its announcement. "We applaud and appreciate your commitment to serving military-connected students and families."
This designation is valid for three years, and Valley View Middle School and Valley View High School will have the opportunity to apply for renewal in fall 2027 to join the Class of 2028.
“We are incredibly honored to receive the Purple Star designation,” said Heather Keating, Military Family Liaison for Valley View Schools. “This recognition affirms our continued commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, especially those connected to military service.”
The Purple Star award is a reflection of Valley View's ongoing efforts to provide meaningful support systems tailored to the wellness and academic success of military-connected youth.
