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."

💯 100 Days Smarter at Minerva Elementary! 🦁
What a fun and memorable day at Minerva Elementary School as we celebrated the 100th day of learning in First Grade!
Students participated in a variety of exciting activities centered around the number 100 — counting 100 items, creative art projects, singing songs, and reading stories all themed around “100.” It was a fantastic way to celebrate how much our students have learned and grown this year!
The highlight of the day? Students and staff dressed up as if they were 100 years old! 👵👴 The gray hair, glasses, suspenders, and canes made for lots of laughs and great memories.
We are so proud of our young learners and the dedication of our amazing staff. Here’s to the next 100 days of learning and fun!
