Good Afternoon!

This is my favorite time of the year. I cherish the returning activity to the building. The sounds of the marching band, the chants of our cheer squad and the smell of a football locker room ; ) it all brings a level of energy and excitement for the beginning of the school year.

I recognize that not everyone has this same level of excitement, however we have been planning and preparing to welcome back all of our students on Aug. 15. In the update below there is information that will help you support your child as they ready to return. These updates will be sent every Friday at 5:00pm to provide you the information, celebrations, and opportunities each week. I would encourage you to take some time over the weekend to read through these updates.

Our vision is to prepare all of our students for success. To help take that vision to success our ability to work as a team is so important. As a team we will need to care, connect, communicate, collaborate, and celebrate! Jerome is a fantastic place and we value the opportunity to educate all of our students.

If you have questions, there is contact information throughout this update to best direct your question. We are grateful for all your help and support!

See you soon!

The Dublin high school athletic departments will be continuing a partnership with Hometown Ticketing for the 2024-2025 school year.

We charge admission for ALL levels (freshman, JV, Varsity) Basketball, Field Hockey, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, Track & Field, Volleyball, and Wrestling. Pre-sale/On-Line admissions are $8, while it is $10 cash at the gate. Senior guests (60+) and pre-school children are free. These ticketing policies are consistent across the league.

To avoid the hassle of “paying as you go,” and incurring on-line ticket charges for each transaction (you only pay a one-time Hometown Ticketing processing fee when purchasing ALL-SPORT PASSES), we make the following passes available below for pre-sale. Passes not valid for OHSAA playoff events.

Student Digital Pass: $63.00
