When asked the question, “Which program would you want to be in if you weren’t in your current program?” I think I would pick Culinary Arts.
First off ,I love food!, second I like cooking. By being a lead ambassador, I learn about a lot of the labs by giving eight grade and sophomore tours. In Culinary Arts I believe everything you make you get to eat and how does that not sound awesome??
I also think Early Childhood Education would be a good program to be in. If you want to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education, I think Hi-Point is a good place to start. I love little kids and working with them also. These are the two labs I think I would have chosen if I wasn’t in Cosmetology.

This year has been one of the best years in school I have ever had.  When I came to Hi-Point I had hands-on help and got to talk one-on-one to my lab instructor and my teachers.  My first day of lab was just like any other first day of school because nobody really knew each other and we were all quiet.  That soon changed because we had some fun activities we did together.  We started right away with hands-on learning and had some fun with it.  Through the year we got more and more activities to work hands-on.
Just this past month our lab went to a contest at Rhodes State for tallest tower and bridge contest.  I took first in bridges, which had to hold 20 lbs for one minute and be made out of manila folders and Elmer’s glue.  Mine held and was the lightest and took first place.  The tallest tower was to be made out of manila folders and scotch tape.  Mine stood at 7’ 4”.  This was my first year doing anything like this in school, and I had a blast! I still have the rest of this year and next year I can’t wait to see what happens next! Till the next time, bye!

This is just the beginning of my Journey! =]

Hey! As you know, my name is Olivia, and I am currently a junior at Ohio Hi-Point. I am in the Cosmetology program, and I am loving it! I am so excited to share my day-to-day life as I continue my “journey” at Hi-Point.
I will be blogging about the Cosmetology program, my classes, and things I am currently involved it. I also hope to express to others some wonderful opportunities Hi-Point has to offer along with great schooling.
I am so excited to be one of your new bloggers! Keeping checking my profile for new updates! =] Until next time, have a great spring break! =]

All in all… I don’t truly have any complaints about Ohio Hi-Point. There are little things that bother me such as the rules on hair color and piercing. This bothers me especially when we are in Cosmetology and these things are a part of our career. It doesn’t  make sense why these things aren’t allowed to be seen when if we were at work in a salon it would be seen as a good thing. I understand the idea that they don’t want it to be viewed as a bad example of Hi-Point, but they could allow us to have them at a limited amount. The reason that we are not allowed to have different hair colors because it is seen as a distraction…in my opinion I think that cosmetologists should stand out to draw attention to their profession.

Even though this stuff really bothers me, it is just minor compared to the many benefits you receive from attending here. The rules are not hard to obey and most of them are for the benefit of your future or common sense. I think that OHP is a very reasonable and understanding school that has its main focus on the future of the students that attend here.

Hey guys! My name is Shelby Shafer, and I’m a junior from West Liberty-Salem High School attending the Ohio Hi-Point  Information Technology lab.  I’ve recently been chosen to be added to the student bloggers and I’m SUPER STOKED! =) I can’t wait to share my day-to-day journey at OHP with the people of cyber space! lol.
I really enjoy being able to show people the true picture of Hi-Point and dispel all the rumors people hear. I’ll be blogging about my classes, activities, and just different aspects of my life here. There’s always something fun and exciting to share! Ohio Hi-Point provides SO MANY incredible opportunities, which I can’t wait to share with you as you follow my journey!
Peace until next time!

Hello! My name is Jason Kish.  I am so excited to be a new blogger!  I am currently a junior at Ohio Hi-Point.  My home school is Marysville.
I came to Hi-Point to take my education further.  The lab I am in is Architectural and Mechanical Design.  I plan on using the college credits I am getting in lab to go to Wright State University, and after two years, move on to Kent State University.  Finally for my master’s degree I will be attending the University of Cincinnati.  I am very excited to be one of the new bloggers!!  Make sure you follow my story!!  Til the next blog, I bid you farewell!

Ayyy:) How are my Hi-Point fans doing? Hopefully you all are enjoying this fabulous weather we are having! I know I sure am
So I was told to blog about stuff I don’t like about OHP this week. I’m guessing my blogger instructor guy was nervous to tell ME to do that, because he knows…that I am a very outspoken lady! But, I’m sitting here writing my entry, and I seriously cannot think about anything negative to say about this school. Weird? I know!
So he has absolutely nothing to worry about, lol. Maybe one tiny problem I personally have is that I’m not in class all that often. But that’s only because of the choices I have made for being a Lead Ambassador here at OHP. So sometimes my grades start slacking a little because I’m not often in class to learn the material. But next week we have OGT’s, so Hi-Point will be on a two hour delay all week. We are holding a study hall for those two hours for anyone who thinks that they need time to work on school stuff. So I will be here, making sure my grades are flying high. Haha.
I had my slot car competition last week at Rhodes State College for engineering day. My pretty, dazzled car had the looks, but it only ran down the track twice. Boooo!
I had 8th grade tours yesterday. Shana (fellow blogger) and I were able to do them together, which was soo much fun!  We definitely made sure those 8th graders knew everything about OHP, fersure!  We just kept on talking and talking and eventually ran out of time, haha. I gotta get back to class for now. Next week I will be posting videos and blogs about the ABLE classes here at OHP. So make sure you see those!  Ta-ta for now!

It has been too long since I’ve had a chance to write to you all, but now I’m back and here to share my experiences with the college process. The first thing I had to do was pick out the colleges that I thought I should apply to, which included the ones that I could transfer my credits from Hi-Point to and the ones that included a class in the health care field. I applied to Clark State Community College, Rhodes State, and Mercy College of Nursing. Applying to the college wasn’t a very complicated process as it just involved filling out their application form, sometimes submitting an official transcript and paying the usually small application fee. But what is like getting into college without having money? I for one can’t afford to pay my way completely through college without some help somewhere along the line, so scholarships are the way to go. Scholarship applications are somewhat alike but also different from college applications. They include all of the basic personal information, but usually include a written part where you state why you deserve this scholarship, and sometimes you have to get letters of recommendation to go along with them. But preparing for college is the biggest challenge of it all, because right now all I want to do is finish up my senior year and get to the summer, but I know in the back of my mind that I have to start preparing for college so when the time comes I’m not behind in the process. But no matter what happens, going to college is in my opinion the best thing to do, getting scholarships will be an immense help and preparing early is the best way to go about it.

It’s hard to believe we only have a couple more months left of our senior year. People always say it will go really fast, and I didn’t believe them, but I just got done with two sports seasons and now on to my third, and it’s crazy to think we’re going to be graduating soon.
What it means is we have more things to get ready for: state boards, senior project presentations, and this Saturday, I’m going to a SkillsUSA competition for Cosmetology.
Along with all of this, I have to fill out scholarships and apply to colleges. My advice to juniors, fill out as many scholarships as you can and apply early on and not at the last minute because I don’t want to admit it but I am still uncertain of what I want to do when I graduate. I have ideas but I haven’t made a complete decision yet. As of right now I’m trying to get ready to go to state boards and get my cosmetology license and then find a salon to work at.

So I had to stop and think about this blog. I have been having trouble because I am a very opinionated person. I guess the thing I dislike about Hi-Point really isn’t about Hi-Point. It is more about the home schools.
Most students here don’t have a reliable source to know what is going on at their school all the time. I just found out Monday when my school’s graduation is. The email system from my school also makes things difficult sometimes. I was to be inducted into the National Honor Society and didn’t find out until that day. This was because even though they all have our emails, the system wanted to send it to a different address.
With going to Hi-Point you can keep in touch, but usually for me it is only by going to my guidance counselor or by reading the announcements they send here to Hi-Point, unless you involved in something or sometimes a friend back at the home school will share information from there, too. This does vary by school, but for me, right now, my dislike would be my home school communication problems.
