Principal Message

To the Class of 2025,

We celebrate not just the end of a chapter, but the beginning of countless new ones. You’ve navigated exams, forged friendships, discovered passions, and grown into remarkable young individuals ready to take on the world.

As you step beyond the halls of London High School, remember the lessons you've learned—not just from books, but from each other. Carry forward the courage to question, the strength to persevere, and the kindness to lift others as you rise.

This moment is yours. Embrace it with pride, walk forward with purpose, and never forget the roots that shaped you. Wherever life takes you next—university, work, military, travels, or beyond—know that you will always be part of the London High School legacy. Remember, once a Red Raider, always a Red Raider!

Congratulations, Class of 2025. The future is waiting—and it looks brighter because of you.

With pride and best wishes,

Go Red Raiders!

-Ryan Rismiller

Wrapping Up the School Year: Important Reminders Before Summer 

As we approach the final month of the school year, please take a moment to review these important updates and reminders:

Vaccination Requirements – State of Ohio

Incoming 7th Graders
All students entering 7th grade must have the following before the first day of school:

  • Tdap booster (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)

  • Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine

Incoming Seniors
Students entering 12th grade are required to receive their second dose of the meningococcal vaccine.

To avoid exclusion from school, these requirements must be completed before the 10th day of the new school year. Appointments can be made with your child’s pediatrician or the local Health Department.

Exemption forms are available for families who choose not to vaccinate and are also due by the 10th day of school.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 

Take time this month to talk openly and honestly with your child about their emotions and mental well-being. Active listening and showing empathy can go a long way. Together, we can reduce the stigma often associated with mental health and create a culture of support and understanding.

Medication Reminders for the 2025–2026 School Year 

If your child will require medication during school hours next year, please note the following:

  • A new physician’s order is required for all medications each school year.

  • Do not send medications with your child, except for:

    • Inhalers

    • Diabetic supplies

    • EpiPens

  • All other medications must be brought to school by an adult.

Wishing all of our families a safe, healthy, and joyful summer!
We look forward to seeing you in August!
