32 Madeira High School students recently competed in the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge alongside 97 teams from across the Greater Cincinnati area.

Madeira teams placed 1st, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 15th, and 25th in the competition, with multiple teams finishing in the top tier of the field. The first place team of Ben Reed, Blake Torggler, Sam Redlinger, and Liam Garza each earned a $2,500 scholarship and will represent Cincinnati at the National Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge in Boston this June. The third place team of Andrew Roy, Robby Lewis, Braeden Wallace, and Harrison Woolwine also earned recognition for their strong performance.

In a live simulation competition, students take what they learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world. The fast-paced matches are based on a fictional marketplace. Students can compete in teams or individually, in person or remotely.

The groups are led by Jennifer Jordan, MHS Business & Media Communications Teacher.

Madeira Preschool
Madeira Preschool will follow the same closings and delays as the Madeira Elementary, Middle, and High School. If school is delayed or canceled because of inclement weather, the automated phone system will contact your home phone number and parent mobile phone numbers that you have provided to be used in the case of an emergency. In addition, emails will be sent to all addresses subscribed to each school list serve. The preschool is included with the elementary school list serve.  

In the event of a 2-hour delay, the preschool will run on the following schedule:

In the event of inclement weather arriving after the start of the school day, students in elementary and middle school will not be released except upon direct contact with the parent or person(s) listed on the student’s emergency card. If bus transportation cannot be provided, students will be kept at school until a parent can pick up their student. Please let us know if you have any questions at 985-6070.

Madeira High School is proud to announce the hiring of Craig Black as the new Head Coach of the Madeira Softball program.

Coach Black brings more than a decade of varsity head coaching experience at the high school level, along with a strong background in program building, athlete development, and leadership. Most recently, he served as the Varsity Softball Head Coach at Cincinnati Country Day School. Prior to that, he led varsity softball programs at Princeton High School, St. Bernard-Elmwood Place High School, Bethel-Tate High School, and Western Hills High School.

Across his coaching career, Coach Black has guided programs through growth and transition while emphasizing fundamentals, accountability, and competitive excellence. In addition to softball, he has served as a football coach at both the high school and junior high levels and has coached basketball for nine seasons, further demonstrating his versatility and commitment to student-athlete development.

Coach Black also brings a strong educational and professional background to Madeira. He earned his Master of Social Work from Case Western Reserve University in May 2024 and became a Licensed Social Worker in the State of Ohio in August 2024. His experience in mental health, combined with his coaching background, supports a holistic approach to student-athlete growth both on and off the field. His skill set includes recruiting, fundraising, developing fundamentals, program building, and community outreach—areas that align closely with Madeira’s values and long-term vision for its athletic programs.

“We are excited to welcome Coach Black to Madeira,” said Athletic Director Chris O’Brien. “His experience, leadership, and commitment to developing student-athletes as people and competitors make him a great fit for our softball program and school community.”

Coach Black is eager to begin working with Madeira student-athletes and families and looks forward to building strong relationships while continuing the tradition of Madeira softball.
