COLLEGE CREDIT

Mariemont High School offers 21 different Advanced Placement courses, developed by the College Board to give high school students an introduction to college-level classes and also gain college credit before even graduating high school. In 2022, MHS had 98 AP Scholars and 84% of MHS students taking an AP exam earned college credit by scoring a 3 or higher. Of the 21 AP courses offered, seven had a passage rate of 100% (2D Art and Design, Art History, Biology, Calculus BC, English Literature, Physics C: Mechanics and Seminar).

Eight Mariemont High School seniors were recently recognized as National Merit Scholars. Rachel Bohl, Charlotte Hagen, Samuel Hicks-Jirkans, Stephen O’Hara, Benner Rogers and Lilly Sharp were all named commended students while Daniel Cooper and Harry Manzler were named semifinalists. The eight scholars are the most in a single year for MHS since 2017.

Cooper and Manzler continue on in the 2023 competition in the hopes of earning one of 7,500 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $32 million.

“Signs of Suicide is one of the most important programs we offer at the high school in terms of keeping students physically safe and mentally healthy. The number of students who have been helped and possibly even saved by participating and learning this valuable information is considerable. No other program at MHS does as much to protect students in as short an amount of time as Signs of Suicide.”

- Dr. Jim Renner, Mariemont High School Principal

“Since we have started doing the daily gratitude journal at the end of each day, we have started hearing kids express gratitude to one another. Hearing students tell each other that they are grateful for one another or for someone who helps them has not only helped to build a strong and supportive community within our classroom and school community, but it has also sparked conversations among students about how they may be grateful for similar things. This 5-minute activity, while a simple idea, has helped our young learners begin to see joy, gratitude and thankfulness in things around them, both big and small!”

- Courtney Miller, Mariemont Elementary School Kindergarten Teacher

In the Mariemont City School District, students’ individual interests and passions will always drive our work. Getting students to fully buy into their learning is the best way to maximize their potential and drive deeper success.

The most notable way we are putting this priority into practice is with our award-winning Warriors BEyond experiential learning program which allows our students in all grade levels the opportunity for real-life learning outside of the traditional classroom setting. But this emphasis on student interests extends well beyond the experiential learning. In Mariemont City Schools, we offer a variety of courses that accentuate skills in communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity and prepare our students for life after high school graduation.
