Research shows students who move regularly are more focused, less stressed, and better prepared to learn.
That’s why fitness is built into every day at Performance Academies.

At Performance High School, we don’t just focus on academics — we focus on the whole child.
Every day, our students participate in intentional character education lessons designed to help them grow into responsible, confident, and resilient young adults. We believe academic knowledge matters, but so do integrity, discipline, leadership, and strong decision-making skills.
Preparing students for life after high school means developing both strong minds and strong character. That’s the Performance standard.

The Golden Shoe Award at South Scioto Performance Academy for the week of February 10th, 2026 goes to Ms. Bell’s fifth grade class. As frequent winners of this award, this fifth grade class understands the importance of creating a positive learning environment for themselves. This week they were able to organize and coordinate the first half of fitness without interruption. We hope they have a wonderful winter break next week!
For many of us, sports begin with fun — and that’s exactly what makes Sydney shine! She shows up to every activity ready to smile, learn, and give it her all. Her positive energy and eager attitude make every lesson better, and when it comes to tennis, she truly stands out — crushing overhand serves and scoring impressive service aces! Congratulations to first grader, Sydney Poole, South Scioto Performance Academy’s amazing Athlete of the Month for January! We are so proud of your enthusiasm, effort, and love of the game. Keep having fun and playing your best!
