A message from Interim Principal, Betty Torrence
Thank you for being part of the Trotwood Preparatory and Fitness Academy family! Our school is a place where every child is seen, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and personally. We believe in educating the whole child and creating an environment where students feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.
At Trotwood, students benefit from both strong academics and meaningful enrichment. Our extended school day runs from 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., giving students more time to grow and thrive. Our teachers and staff are passionate about helping students succeed, and our families play a huge role in that partnership. Together, we’re building something special.
Helpful Reminders for Families
To help your child have a smooth and successful school day:
- Doors open at 7:30 a.m. and school starts promptly at 8:00 a.m.
- Arrivals after 8:00 a.m. are marked tardy.
- Breakfast is served until 8:15 a.m.
- We want every student to start the day nourished and ready to learn.
- School uniforms are required every day.
- If your child will be absent, please call the school office by 8:30 a.m.
- (937) 854-4100
- Dismissal begins at 3:45 p.m.

I am honored to serve as Interim Principal and to work alongside such caring families, dedicated staff, and amazing students. I’m excited for the year ahead and all the growth, success, and memories it will bring.
With appreciation,
Ms. Betty Torrence, Interim Principal

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
As we head into this historic Independence Day weekend, we’re reflecting on what it means to build a lasting legacy. At Performance Academies, our mission goes beyond the classroom to prepare our scholars for a lifetime of leadership and service.
That’s why every single day includes 30 minutes of dedicated Character Education. By focusing on the core values of responsibility, respect, and kindness, we are helping our young stars grow into the responsible citizens who will shape the next 250 years of our nation’s story.
We are so incredibly proud of our scholars and grateful for our amazing families who partner with us in this journey. Whether you’re celebrating with fireworks, a backyard BBQ, or quiet time with loved ones, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday weekend!
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures.

The journey to excellence doesn’t end at Grade 8! 🎓
At Performance Academies, we are so proud of the incredible growth and discipline our scholars show every day. As they look toward their next big chapter, we are thrilled to offer a seamless transition into our very own High School programs: the natural next step for scholars who want to keep building on their academic and athletic foundations. 🌟
Our High School Readiness Program provides more than just a path forward; it provides a supportive home. While we continue to offer expert admissions and scholarship guidance for those exploring private school options, our own high schools are designed to keep our scholars thriving in the environment they know and love, surrounded by teachers who believe in their potential.
From rigorous academics and double blocks of core subjects to our signature daily fitness and character lessons, the Performance Academies mission continues all the way to graduation. We are honored to walk this path with our families! ❤️
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures.
