Meet Our Principal
Welcome to Mt. Healthy Preparatory and Fitness Academy.
I am Mrs. Mills, your child’s Principal. I have been leading our campus since 2020 and for the past three years, we have received the Quality Charter School designation by the state of Ohio. My staff and I are looking forward to another great year of educational learning and helping each student develop academically, physically and emotionally. We offer a unique fitness program that includes martial arts, tennis and soccer. We explore character development daily and we deliver the best curriculum aligned with the Ohio State Standards so that your child receives the best education. In addition to academics and fitness, we also provide your child with positive behavior supports, incentives and responsive classroom techniques. Here at Mt.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our longtime Speech and Language Pathologist and dear friend, Kate Penn.
Kate was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome. Her positive attitude, genuine kindness, and passion for living life to the fullest left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Whether she was supporting students, encouraging colleagues, or sharing the mission of Performance Academies with families in the community, Kate gave her whole heart to everything she did.
We could always count on Kate. Throughout her years with Performance Academies, she touched the lives of countless students, families, and staff members. While the space she leaves behind can never truly be filled, we know our schools and our community are better because we had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
We will deeply miss her larger-than-life personality, her contagious smile, and the incredible hugs that made so many people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Our hearts are with Kate's family and friends. We are holding them close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time and extend our deepest love and support.
Kate's legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the students she championed, the colleagues she encouraged, and the countless moments of kindness she shared. She will forever be a part of the Performance Academies family and will be deeply missed.

Our students got a firsthand look at what their futures can hold during our Career Fair this past April!
From meeting members of the Cincinnati Fire and Police Departments to hearing the inspiring journey of a former professional basketball player, students explored a variety of exciting career paths. They also learned from parents in our own school community who shared what it's like to build and run successful businesses.
Experiences like these help students connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities, inspiring them to dream big, work hard, and discover what's possible. Thank you to all of our incredible presenters for investing in the next generation! 👏🚒🚓🏀💼
