Minerva Local Schools Celebrates Board of Education During "Scaling New Heights" Recognition
MINERVA, OH — At the February 23rd Minerva Local Board of Education meeting, the district honored the Minerva Local School Board Members. As part of the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Board Appreciation Month, the district celebrated the theme "Scaling New Heights."
The theme connected well with the Minerva community, reflecting the Board’s commitment to supporting students as they climb from their first days in preschool to the pinnacle of graduation.
A Focus on the Whole Child
The Minerva Local Board of Education was thanked for the support of a well-rounded educational experience. Their leadership ensures that Minerva students have access to:
Academic Excellence
The Arts & Athletics
Extracurriculars
The Whole Child Framework
School Safety
Student-Led Gratitude
The highlight of the evening featured Minerva Elementary second-grade students demonstrating creativity.
Board members were presented with oversized, handmade thank-you cards and original artwork and produced a touching "Scaling New Heights" video tribute, which was played for the board and attendees.
"We are very fortunate to have such a well-rounded, hard-working, and dedicated school board for Minerva Local Schools," said Superintendent Mark Scott. "They are always student-centered in every decision they make. We appreciate their dedication to our students and our community."
Following the formal recognition and the conclusion of district business, Board members and community visitors enjoyed a reception featuring fresh fruit and cookies.
Through their vision and dedication, the Minerva Local Board of Education continues to ensure that every student is equipped to reach their own "new heights."

Did you know Aultman Hospital provides Aultman Now Telehealth services to our students and staff during the school day?
If your child isn’t feeling well, they can meet with a healthcare provider through a secure video visit right from the school building. It’s a convenient way to get care quickly without leaving work or scheduling an outside appointment.
If your child isn’t feeling well, reach out to the school nurse to learn more or to set up an appointment. #minervaprice 🦁
