Superintendent's Message

Dear Buckeye Valley families and community,

I am honored to be a part of a community that values education, collaboration and the success of every student. Our dedicated team of educators, support staff, administrators and parents work together to create a positive and nurturing environment that fosters learning and development.

I am honored and committed to lead an engaging and enriching school district that ranks among the best in the state of Ohio. I will continue to work toward our district goals of promoting student success, fostering a caring school culture, promising fiscal responsibility, and practicing effective communication. We will continue to offer a great education to our students and add incredible value to our Buckeye Valley community.

Although we recognize that academic success is paramount to our students, we are also committed to providing challenging and fulfilling opportunities outside of the classroom as well. These opportunities include athletics, performing arts, visual arts, clubs and more. We recognize that these are great ways to challenge, engage, connect and better prepare our students for college, the military, or the workforce after graduation.

As we embark upon the second half of our school year together, as your superintendent I look forward to working with a school board committed to excellence and building connections throughout our learning community. Of course, there will be challenges that lie ahead as we continue to experience growth and see the need for additional classroom space in our dynamic school district. The legacy of excellence runs deep through our Baron veins and I could not be more excited and optimistic about our future together. Thank you for welcoming me into this wonderful Buckeye Valley community.

 

Go Barons!

Dr. Ric Stranges
Superintendent
