Welcome to Avon Lake City Schools

Superintendent

Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!

The Avon Lake City Schools is excited to begin a new school year with the promise of new and significant initiatives on the horizon, outstanding opportunities for our students at all grade levels, and a reinvigorated sense of purpose sailing into a new era. It's a whole new ball game!

The first day of school for the 2025-2026 school year for students in grades 1st through 12th is Tuesday, August 19th, and Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten students return on Thursday, August 21st.

Planning, building design, and preparations for renovations at the Elementary School and more will commence throughout the fall of 2025, and while eagerness is in the air, the construction of a new Grades 5 - 8 facility at the Learwood site is a massive undertaking requiring proper strategic thought, collaboration, partnership with the community, budgeting, examining best practices in building design for education and more. The building will not be ready for educational use until the fall of 2028, and the time between then and now will be used for appropriate planning, design, and construction. We'll be certain to cover all bases as it relates to receiving input and sharing information with the community, so that we can hit this project out of the park!

Along the way, we will remain dedicated to our strategic objectives from last year's newly adopted strategic plan. Those include creating a culture of respect and collaboration for a constructive environment. We will prioritize student-centered learning, whether it be college-bound or career-ready. The physical attributes of a school district such as buildings and facilities will continue to be a major priority as we will seek to provide infrastructure that maximizes learning, educational settings, and environments that enhance instruction. We're pleased the community recognized the importance of these objectives as well, with their support.

Ultimately, the Avon Lake City Schools will encourage students from grades PreK to 12th to demonstrate character, and to be adaptable, life-ready, and set for success.

We're on our way to becoming an ite school district! It's a whole new ball game, and we're excited to work together to hit a home run for this upcoming 2025-2026 school year!
