Jeff Brown, Superintendent Granville Exempted Village School District

Granville’s class of 2014 was the largest graduating class in the

history of the district. The world is a much different place than it was when they first stepped into their kindergarten classes in 2001. This class of graduates is leaving Granville more prepared than ever to succeed beyond the walls of the classroom. Teachers, administrators, parents and community members have all played a part in educating these students. With the passage of the fall levy, the dis-trict is able to continue to employee high-quality teachers who challenge students to achieve. The result of their efforts will be realized when our grad-uates go on to become future leaders, doctors, engineers, mathematicians, architects, fashion designers, engine mechanics, cosmetologists, artists, dancers, educators and more. The vari-ety of chosen professions speaks to the importance of an education focused on the whole child. The community’s support, demon-strated by the passage of the perma-nent improvement levy this year, is a testament to the importance of provid-ing infrastructure and investment for future generations of students. The funds will enable the district to keep curriculum current by providing the

financial means to purchase up-to- date textbooks and new technologies which will give students the tools and content necessary to compete in today’s society.At a recent Chamber event, Dan Evers from GROW Licking County discussed the need for economic development. The strength of our district and the suc-cess of our students is a main reason new residents cite in their decision to move into the area. Highly rated school districts, like ours, help position com-munities to attract viable businesses that can strengthen economic growth. By working together, we can pro-vide sustainability for the schools and community.
