Welcome to the Conneaut Area City School District

We serve approximately 2,240 students, and are the largest employer in the city of Conneaut, with 194 certified personnel (59% of whom have a Master’s Degree), and a support staff of 123.

We are in the close-out phase of a $46 million dollar partnership (16% local funds, 84% state funds) with the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission and the local taxpayers. In the past four yearswe renovated and added to Conneaut High School, built and have opened three new buildings; Conneaut Middle School, Gateway Elementary School, and Lakeshore Primary School. Working together with our staff, students, parents, and community, we are proud to provide our students with a high quality education in our new state of the art facilities.

We take pride in the history of the Conneaut Schools, and we are very excited about the future. We welcome you to learn more about us through this website, which serves as an important means of sharing information about the excellent programs and services provided through the schools.

I pledge to you my dedicated service and genuine commitment to do everything within my power to lead your schools in a manner that places the best interests of our children and the community first. Together, we all can look forward to excellence in education, opportunities for our children's success, and a wonderful future for our community.

Please call or email me with your questions, comments, or concerns. I also invite you to attend our board meetings, with dates and times posted on this site.
