Superintendent's Message

Dear Buckeye Valley Families and Community,

Welcome and thank you for exploring our website. The Buckeye Valley Local Schools are committed to providing all our students with a welcoming, safe and challenging learning environment.  Our district team is dedicated to preparing our students for success in an ever-changing society. Our wonderful students, amazing staff, and supportive community make achieving this possible.

We are proud of the many accomplishments of our students and staff.  Our schools have been named as some of the best in Ohio! Through our work toward our district goals of promoting student success, a caring culture, fiscal responsibility, and effective communication, we will continue to offer a great education to our students and add incredible value to our BV community.

We recognize that academic success is important for our students, but we are also committed to providing our students with many challenging and fulfilling opportunities outside of academics as well.  These opportunities, including athletics, band, music, art, theater programs, clubs, and more, are a great way to challenge, engage, connect and better prepare our students for college, the military or the workforce upon graduation.

As a Buckeye Valley resident and parent of three BV students, I am extremely honored to be your superintendent. The school board members and I are committed to continuing academic excellence and growing the connection of our community to our school district. While there are many challenges ahead, handling the continuing growth we are seeing around our dynamic district and the increasing need for additional classroom space connected with that growth continues to be at the forefront. I could not be more optimistic about the future for our district and its students.

Go Barons!

Paul Craft
