Graham Local Schools is proud to share that we have been awarded the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce District Momentum Award in recognition of our significant improvement in student growth and achievement on the Ohio School Report Card for the 2024–2025 school year.
Graham Local Schools is one of only 20 districts across the state of Ohio to receive this prestigious honor, an accomplishment that reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our entire Falcon Family.
A special congratulations goes out to Graham High School for also earning the Building Momentum Award for their outstanding Performance Index growth and Progress Rating. This recognition highlights the focused efforts of our high school staff and students to continuously improve and achieve at high levels.
We also proudly celebrate Graham Middle School for earning 5-Star Building Recognition on the Ohio School Report Card. GMS is the only 5-Star school across Champaign, Clark, and Logan Counties. Only 283 school buildings (elementary/middle/high) across Ohio earned a 5-Star Rating out of over 1,800 eligible buildings. This outstanding achievement reflects a strong culture of high expectations, student growth, and academic excellence.
This recognition truly belongs to every staff member across our district. From our teachers and support staff to our bus drivers, custodians, food service staff, and leadership team, each person plays a vital role in supporting our students every day. This award reflects a collective commitment to growth, high expectations, and support for all students.
These achievements are a direct result of:
- Dedicated staff across all roles who go above and beyond each day
- Students who continue to rise to the challenge and strive for excellence
- Families and community members who support and believe in our schools
Together, we are building momentum and creating opportunities for every student to succeed.
