National Principals Month. Celebrating the leaders of Chillicothe R-II School District. Ththank you for leading, inspiring ad supporting our students. Daniel Costner, Dr. Abby Smith, Tim Marsh, Dan Nagel, Adam Wolf, Reid Stephens, Hollie Burnside, Terria Cox, Keri Rodenberg.
We need your help, Hornet Nation!

Chillicothe R-II School District is in urgent need of drivers to help transport our students to athletic and activity trips. Right now, we’re struggling to fill trips for our fall athletes and club members traveling to area events, and we want to make sure every student has the opportunity to participate and compete.

Have a CDL and interested in earning some extra cash? Please consider applying to be a trip driver.

Don’t have a CDL yet? We can provide training - and it doesn’t take that much time. If you’ve ever thought about driving, this is a great way to get started and support our students.

Apply here: https://chillicotheschools.schoolspring.com/

Please share this post to help us spread the word—thank you for supporting our students and programs!
