The Miamisburg City School District will join more than 700 school districts throughout Ohio to celebrate January as School Board Recognition Month.

All students of this District benefit every day from the dedication and commitment to a quality education by our school board members. The hours and energy devoted to making this district a great place to learn do not go unnoticed. School board members come from all walks of life. Miamisburg Board members have been farmers, secretaries, doctors, lawyers, homemakers, business owners and real estate agents, to name just a few. While they wear many hats in the workday world, school board members put on a collective hat when they get down to the business of leading their school districts. Board members must pull together as a team toward a common goal — helping students achieve. While they may individually disagree on certain issues, their role as a board is to consistently strive toward that goal.

Our Board members contribute hundreds and hundreds of hours each year leading their districts. Whether crafting policies, hiring top-notch administrators, listening to staff and student concerns, or recognizing outstanding programs, our board members always keep their eyes on the prize of student achievement.The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours they devote to leading their districts. They also work hard at seminars and training sessions to keep abreast of the latest trends in educational leadership, are deeply involved in community activities, and spend many hours in the schools and at extracurricular events.Their love of learning and concern and caring for students, staff and the community, drive their desire to lead so students can achieve.
