Another year has passed; each year seems to go more quickly than the last. The 2010-2011 school year was a very productive year for both staff and students.

Our Dental Assistant/Hygienist program had a very successful first year in operation, and we have strong enrollment in the new junior class. Both junior and senior levels will be operational in 2011-2012.

Also, we have spent the last year collaborating with the administration of Louisville City schools to develop the lab for our Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation program which is set to begin at the start of the 2011-2012 school year. The program will be housed at Louisville High School. This program also has a strong junior class enrollment.

We successfully completed our first year of district leadership team work relating to the Ohio Improvement Process, and we have centered our professional development and student success initiatives for the 2011-2012 school year around our Ohio Improvement Process goals.

We are very excited about the future. Our overall enrollment continues to hold at record-breaking levels, and student success is amazing. This year marks a special year for R. G. Drage. It will be our 35th year of operation! We plan to begin our celebration of 35 years of excellence with the start of the 2011-2012 school year.

As we look forward to another year, we will continue to educate our students using a high degree of compassion enveloped in a positive atmosphere. We know it is through student success that we gain continued success, and we would not have it any other way.
