Congratulations to the 2019 Blackford High School Honor Award recipients! We would like to thank our sponsors for their continued support of academic excellence.
Blackford County Schools would like to congratulate the 2018-2019 teacher of the year, Mrs. Linda Wallace. Mrs. Wallace, a veteran educator with over 20 years at Blackford County Schools, currently serves as a special education teacher at Blackford High School. She is also the coach for the Blackford High School track, football, and bowling teams.
We are proud of Mrs. Wallace's dedication to the students of Blackford County Schools and pleased to announce her as the 2018-2019 Blackford County Schools teacher of the year.
Currently, the last day of school for students will be on Tuesday, June 4, 2019.
The Blackford High School class of 2019 graduation ceremony will take place on Friday, June 7, 2019, at 6:00 p.m. in the gymnasium.
The Indiana Department of Education released information about a waiver process to reduce the number of make-up days for schools. This addresses concerns for schools that have missed a significant number of days this year due to weather. Essentially, it requires schools to make up the first five days missed, then schools may waive every other day.
Blackford County Schools has applied for and been granted the waiver. We have missed nine days so far this year. This means day seven and day nine would not need to be made up for students. As of today, the last day of school is now on May 30.
Due to the fact that it is the first week of February and more weather issues may arise, this may change. We will share all updates via the district website and social media.
