Phased Classroom Renovation

In 2024, East Holmes Local Schools launched the Phased Classroom Renovation Project to enhance learning environments for students and staff across the district.

The project highlights the district’s commitment to enhancing its current facilities, emphasizing a focus on facility improvements rather than school consolidation. This decision celebrates what makes our district unique—our small, close-knit school communities.

With funds intentionally set aside for the project, careful and intentional financial planning has made it possible to support these improvements without requiring a ballot measure.
