Expanding Education Through Opportunity
Gallia Academy High School
Stadium Project
Our first goal is to start building Phase One, the Field House and Home Concessions building. This will give student athletes across all sports a 10,000 square foot facility in which to learn and train.
The Field House consists of home and away locker rooms with showers and restrooms, a spacious weight room with windows, official prep area, a secluded training room with field access for injuries, ample storage, coaches’ offices and a conference room that can be used for anything from team briefings to watching films, to booster meetings. Away-side concessions and restroom facilities are efficiently positioned on the end of the building so that they are not only utilized in football and track season, but are accessible to the nearby ball fields as well. In the center of this beautiful new facility stands the grand entry arch through which our players will take the field.

Annual Report ‘11 - ‘12 | 5
This past school year has been an exciting time for the Gallipolis City School District. For the first time in the school’s history, the district earned an “Excellent” rating by the Ohio Department of Education due to the hard work and efforts of our staff and students. I congratulate all of you on a job well done!
Since becoming Superintendent two years ago, we have made several changes within the district and have kept communication, collaboration, and community in the forefront. We focused on curriculum, analyzing data, personnel, education programs, and research-based interventions. All of these components are crucial in allowing students to be successful educationally.
As a result of the hard work and dedication of the entire staff, we would like to commend them on their educational accomplishments of this past school year.
Green Elementary was rated “Excellent with Distinction” and was honored as “A School of Promise” and “A School of Honor.” Rio Grande Elementary received its first rating of “Excellent with Distinction.” Gallia Academy High School received an “Excellent” rating and Washington Elementary received its first “Excellent” rating. Gallia Academy Middle School made improvements and received an “Effective” rating. With all of these changes in curriculum, instruction, and personnel, we are making educational gains. As we all know, it is the instruction students receive from the teaching staff that

allows the students to be successful. A “thank you” must be given to our staff.
Educating students today is so much different than five years ago. The Ohio Department of Education has incorporated and mandated many new changes within the educational profession. These new initiatives focus on curriculum, instruction, assessments, and the evaluation, of the teaching staff. In addition, there is an increased focus in holding teachers and students accountable for their academic growth and success. We, as educators, may not agree with all of these changes that are occuring so quickly, but we must be prepared to meet the “New Level of Expectations” being placed upon us. As the educational leader of this “Excellent” school district, I believe we need to be prepared to be proactive and not reactive.
When we begin the 2013-2014 school year, we as a district, have many changes and challenges before us. We will provide all student with a well-rounded education that will allow each students to be competitive and college-and-career ready. We will continue to work on achieving the highest letter grade rating possible for the district, provide excellent customer services, and increase communication with the community.

From the Principal...
Tim Massie, Principal
The 2012-2013 school year was another exciting and successful year for Gallia Academy High School. Successful student-centered programs that were previously established such as CARE groups, activity periods, and the quiz bowl team competition were continued this year. In addition, through a partnership between the Gallipolis City Schools and the Gallia-Vinton ESC, a grant was received to conduct the GAHS ASSET (After School Success and Enrichment for Teens) after school program in which students were offered a variety of activities and tutoring sessions.
The Class of 2013 again sponsored the third annual Black Out Cancer Night, soliciting donations for the American Cancer Society and recognizing victims and survivors of cancer during half time of a fall football game. In coordination with the GAHS Key Club and Student Council, over $3000.00 was donated to the Gallia County Relay for Life that was generously given that night
or raised through the purchase of t-shirts. The 2013 senior class also sponsored the third annual Gallia’s Got Talent Show featuring a variety of talent from GAHS students.
Focusing on supporting Gallipolis and Gallia County through community service activities, several clubs and organizations at Gallia Academy worked diligently to give back to our community. Following the leadership of Mr. Harold Benson and Mr. Jerrod Ferguson, the Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter sponsored two blood drives for the third year at Gallia Academy. Under the direction of Mrs. Patti Bodimer, FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) was active with several projects including Pennies for Patients fundraising campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a “White Out” event to benefit the American Heart Association, and GAHS “Fuel Up to Play 60” project which is working to promote healthy eating and increasing physical fitness activities in children and teens. One of their activities included a GAHS Stadium Walk which helped raise funds to install a community wide walking path around the high school sporting complex. The National Honor Society inducted thirty-three new members into the organization. Some of their activities included assisting with the annual open house, parent teacher conferences, career day, and graduation.
The school year culminated with graduation activities on May 31, 2013 as 136 seniors received their diplomas; during the ceremony, two seniors were recognized for their plans to enlist or pursue a career in the armed forces. Graduating seniors were also recognized for earning scholarships and/or awards totaling almost $727,000.00. As our year drew to a close, Gallia Academy said goodbye to retiring teacher Jim Niday.
Thirty-nine years ago, I graduated from GAHS. When I received my diploma that afternoon, I never dreamed that four years later I would be back in this great school as a vocational agriculture instructor and later as a guidance counselor, assistant principal, and now as principal. What a ride it has been, and now it is hard to believe that thirty-five years have come and gone. Now, just like the many wonderful graduating senior classes in the past, it is time for me, too, to “graduate” and enter the next phase of my life. Thank you very much to everyone – parents and community, school board members, my fellow administrators, my GAHS family, and most of all the students.

Gallia Academy Middle SchoolFrom the Principal...
Our newly renovated Gallia Academy Middle School building and enthusiastic students began the 2012-2013 school year with an “Effective “rating from the Ohio Department of Education. Gallia Academy Middle School was able to meet five out of the eight state standards for the 2011-12 school year. Although this is not a bad rating, our dedicated staff felt that our building rating was not a true reflection of our work ethic and commitment to academic excellence. Therefore, Gallia
Academy Middle School made some major changes to improve our OAA scores and address some academic deficiencies during the 2012-13 school year.
In order to better serve our intervention students, we redesigned our intervention services through collaboration with our intervention teachers. We reduced the number of students in our math and reading sections to improve the teacher to student ratio and incorporated an extension period at the end of the day which allowed for more instructional time. In order to be successful and truly consolidate our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, we eliminated grade level activities. Our building also integrated weekly incentives to promote attendance, behavior, and academics and to improve our school climate.
Athletically, our eighth grade volleyball team won the SEOAL Team Championship while having a 13-0 season and a combined 28-0 overall record. Our soccer team and boys cross country team also won SEOAL Team Championships. The girls track team and wrestling team both earned second place in the league.
Our music programs continue to have success across the board. The GAMS Symphonic Choir received four superior, six excellent, and one good rating in competitions during the 2012-2013 school year. They performed in three seasonal concerts, the Veterans Day Assembly, the Disney Dinner Theater, and the GAHS production of the “Civil War.” Our choir students performed at our local nursing homes and had the privilege of traveling to Columbus to see the Broadway musical “Beauty and the Beast.” The GAMS 7th and 8th Grade Concert Band earned an II-Excellent rating at the OMEA District 17 Middle School Large Group Adjudicated Event. Also, there were a number of students involved in OMEA Solo and Ensemble Competition this year that earned all I-Superior and II-Excellent Ratings.

The vacancy left by Mr. Saunders provided the opportunity for my return to the Gallia Academy Middle School, a building in which I taught for six years. It has been a privilege to be working with a staff I have missed and admired for years. I have also had the honor of working with a former staff member and newly appointed assistant principal, Mrs. Lisa Jo Blackman. As a staff, we have recommitted ourselves to academic excellence and realized the input and cooperation of all stakeholders is vital to the success of our students.

Annual Report ‘12 - ‘13 | 9
The end of the 2012-2013 school year marked the successful completion of the 13th year of existence for the Gallipolis City School District’s Clay Alternative School. There continued a positive partnership with the Gallia-Jackson-Vinton Joint Career-Technical School. The CAS staff was comprised of the following personnel: Steve Patterson (Long & Short-term teacher), Leanna Kingery, Bobbi Kuhn, Carla Swisher (Aides), Deputy Joe Barrett and Deputy Pat Cochran (Gallia County Sheriff’s Department), and David Perry (Principal). William A. Sheets, Woodland Centers Mental Health Therapist, and Angie Williamson, case management, conducted group/individual counseling sessions. Three hundred twenty-five students (grades 6-12) were assigned to the Clay Alternative School from Gallipolis City Schools and Buckeye Hills Career Center. Clay Alternative School is located on the Gallia Academy Middle School campus.
The Clay Alternative School is designed to accommodate Long-term students (students assigned for 11 days or more) and Short-term students (students assigned for 10 days or less). There were 9 students served in the Long-term program. The average length of placement was 42 school days. Of the (316) Short-term students assigned to the Alternative School, (208) were assigned from the Gallipolis City School District. Students from the Gallia Academy High School and Gallia Academy Middle High accounted for (65.8%) of the total students assigned Short-term to the Alternative School. Buckeye Hills Career Center assigned 108 students (34.2%). The average assignment was 2.8 days. In 13 years, there have been 3,495 students assigned to the Short-term program and 129 students to the Long-term program for a total of 3,624 students.
There have been 2781 males (76.7%) and 843 females (23.3%) assigned. During the past 13 years, the 3,624 students have been assigned for a total of (21,895 days) of instruction for a 6.1 average days per student. During that time, CAS students have completed 59,434 out of 68,238 assignments from the “feeder” school for an 87.1% or a solid “B+” completion average. In 2012-2013 the 325 students attended CAS for a total of 1,258 school days that would have been normally “out-of-school” days due to the old system of suspensions and expulsions. Clay Alternative School has made a real difference in student attendance and learning.
David Perry, Assistant Principal
Student quotes are a great reflection of the impact Clay Alternative School has on student achievement.
“I liked PT though is wore me out.”
“The staff is very concerned about the students.”
“I think Clay Alternative School is a perfect place for kids that get in trouble.”
“The staff was very disciplined but nice to the students.”
“I’m glad I got to experience CAS because it changed my whole outlook on school and my personal life. It gave me
goals to set and hopefully I’ll meet them.”
“I didn’t like the strict rules.”
“Mrs Kuhn treated me with respect.”
“It was very tough, I hated it, and I WON’T BE BACK!”

Search for Children with Disabilities Under Way
The Gallipolis City School District is participating in a Child Find effort to locate and evaluate all children from three through twenty one years of age who may have a disability. Disability, in this instance, means such conditions as hearing impairments, specific learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, mental retardation, speech and language disabilities, and orthopedic and other health impairments, multiple disabilities, deaf-blindness, autism and traumatic brain injury.
Although many school aged disabled children are identified and currently being served by Gallipolis City Schools, preschool children, ages 3-5, with disabilities may be unidentified because parents may not be aware that programs and services are available through the Gallipolis City Schools. Community members can help us with this important effort. If you know a child in our district with a suspected disability that is not presently attending school or receiving services from another agency, please contact Mary Lynne Jones, Director of Special Education, Gallipolis City Schools, 740-446-3211.
Preparing Preschoolers for Kindergarten
Gallipolis City Schools’ preschool program is a developmentally comprehensive program for children 3-5 years of age who reside in the Gallipolis City School District. The half-day classroom sessions (morning and afternoon) are offered four days a week throughout the school year. Children ages 3-5 are served in both regular education and special education classrooms.
The preschool program is based upon best teaching practices. The research-based curriculum has been aligned with the Ohio Department of Education’s Early Learning Common Core. This literacy, language rich curriculum provides active learning experiences which concentrate on skills that are important for kindergarten. In addition to classroom services, the program provides adapted physical education, speech, occupational and physical therapies, as well as itinerant special education services.
It is our belief that every child can learn and succeed. We strive to build a strong foundation for future learning.

Technology
The Gallipolis City School District recognizes the expanding role that technology is playing in education and in preparing our students for college and the workforce.
We are proud to be on the technology highway as we have supplied each of our teachers with a laptop to assist them in the classroom. They use them daily for lesson plans, research, testing and displaying a wide range of teaching materials through the ceiling mounted projectors onto the whiteboards.
We have over 30 COWs, (Computers ON Wheels) throughout our district. In addition to our many COWs, each elementary has a computer lab while our middle school and high school have multiple labs.
In order to better serve our parents and students, we have our school website, Lunchbox and ProgressBook for use online. We encourage you to communicate with your child and inquire about the large number of online programs and server based programs which our students and staff have come to use for everyday education such as: • AcceleratedMath• MathFactsinaFlash• RocketMath• EducationCity• AcceleratedReading• StudyIsland• StarMath• StarReadingTechnology is used so much in everyday life that The
Gallipolis City School District has embraced the use of technology to help ensure that we are introducing our students to some of the newest software available. Please ask your child how their day was impacted by technology.

The Gallipolis City School District recognizes the expanding role that technology is playing in education and in preparing our students for college and the workforce.
We are proud to be on the technology highway as we have supplied each of our teachers with a laptop to assist them in the classroom. They use them daily for lesson plans, research, testing and displaying a wide range of teaching materials through the ceiling mounted projectors onto the whiteboards.
We have over 30 COWs, (Computers ON Wheels) throughout our district. In addition to our many COWs, each elementary has a computer lab while our middle school and high school have multiple labs.
In order to better serve our parents and students, we have our school website, Lunchbox and ProgressBook for use online. We encourage you to communicate with your child and inquire about the large number of online programs and server based programs which our students and staff have come to use for everyday education such as:
• Accelerated Math • Math Facts in a Flash • Rocket Math • Education City • Accelerated Reading • Study Island • Star Math • Star Reading
Technology is used so much in everyday life that The Gallipolis City School District has embraced the use of technology to help ensure that we are introducing our students to some of the newest software available. Please ask your child how their day was impacted by technology.
Each of our buildings have at least one teacher designated as a Building Tech, which help with the growing technology throughout our district and continue to train our entire staff in the area of technology.

12 | Annual Report ‘12 - ‘13
Washington Elementary began the school year with many challenges, but was overwhelmed and excited with the knowledge that Washington had become an Excellent School. At the beginning of the school year the building kicked off the Positive Behavior Support System (PBS). What an exciting time for students to embrace the challenges of the school year in taking responsibility for their behavior, academics, and attendance. In developing this program, staff worked effortlessly for two years to organize the supports for the
program. What a tremendous effort was put forth! Congratulations! New curriculum in math & reading was introduced and would be the focal point of learning for the staff during the school year. Many opportunities for technology learning took place as staff continued to strengthen their skills in the usage of Mimio, providing the support for the new materials. Nicole Brafford led the building as Technology Coordinator and has been very conscientious and knowledgeable about her work. We welcomed a new social worker to our staff, Micah Lanier, who has been quite busy with the challenges of meeting needs during difficult times in our students’ lives. We truly value his support and look forward to working with him for many years to come. Lori Billings took on the challenge of using her First Grade classroom as the study group for testing that supported Student Learning Objectives (SLO’s). This has been a challenge, but she has diligently worked to support the new process that will be introduced to the district during the 2013-2014 school year.
Our TBT leaders have continued excellent work in developing schedules and working with their teams in promoting greater student success. Monitoring the data from previous OAA Scores has been critical, along with daily work, DIBELS, state testing and Study Island results in Math & Reading. This is truly a TEAM effort. The fourth grade piloted the new social studies test to be added to the OAA Testing. The testing was all computerized, which is the means for taking state tests in the future. Throughout the District Formative Instructional Practices (FIP) were introduced. Teachers trained during in-service days and scheduled days within the building. Our staff embraced this learning and prepared to support its practices for the 2013-14 school year. Teachers and Administrators piloted the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) this school year. That too will be implemented during the fall of 2013. Our staff is to be commended for their great efforts and time given to the initiatives of the District.
Our PTO, led by Angel Blazer, has supported our programs and provided wonderful opportunities for our students. The Bullying Assembly was a success and provides for the learning that is needed in the world we live today. They have continued to embrace our fundraiser for Washington Walkers as this group earns money for
cancer research. If you see pink hair or ribbon tattoos, you know the PTO is at work. The $4500 earned to support the PBS program celebrating students behavior, attendance, & academics through WILDCAT CASH was one of the main focuses this year. We cannot make opportunities for students happen without them. Holzer Health System would contribute another $2000 for that assembly, along with plaques, medallions, & trophies for the awards ceremony at the end of the school year. Our students are blessed to have these supports in place.
Looking at the year in a glance, it is incredible to review the opportunities and goals our staff has accomplished with our students. We are pleased that students and their families take an interest in these opportunities that help their children to grow educationally. Washington Elementary also had a “First” this year - “The Variety Show”! Our many thanks to a loving staff & community that put together an awesome variety of student talent and staff antics that entertained an audience of 400 plus members. We look forward to next year.
We have a wonderful giving community and we thank you sincerely. The extra contributions have helped support all that is accomplished at Washington. Our staff is to be commended for personal goal setting and making a tremendous impact on the education of our students. We sincerely thank them and look forward to the challenges of another great school year.

Rio Grande Elementary kicked off the year with a rating of “Excellent with Distinction” on the annual report card from the Ohio Department of Education. The jump of two designation levels in one year was an awesome feat for the students and staff of Rio! Team Rio continued to hold high expectations for all students throughout the 2012-2013 school year and are anticipating an equally awesome rating this year.
Rio Grande Elementary’s accomplishments this year were plentiful. This year we added Project MORE, a mentor program, to help struggling readers become more proficient with reading skills. We also established our first Relay for Life team dubbed “Team Rio.” The team raised over 6,500 dollars for cancer research. Our annual variety show, themed “Rio’s Grand Hotel & Resort,” showcased student and staff talents. We hosted several events including, but not limited to; COSI on Wheels, Ronda Friend’s author visit, Veteran’s Day assembly, Christmas
programs, field days, quarterly awards assemblies and “Rio Rewards” extravaganza.
Rio Grande’s PTO continues to be an asset to the students and staff of Rio Grande. Through the leadership of President Holly Petro and board members; Batina Corvin, Twyllia Connelley-Jay, Jenny Davis, Bridget Dodson, Amee Rees and Sheila Wamsley, Team Rio sponsored many successful events. The annual fall festival and auction raised funds that helped cover the cost of events and projects for the school and students. Some of the costs covered were for graduation ceremonies, field trips, author visit, classroom supplies, academic awards, teacher appreciation week, books for students, and “Rio Rewards” prizes. Thanks again PTO!
The 2012-2013 school year was another great success for the Rio team. Rio Grande staff and students want to thank everyone who have helped to make our school such a great place!

1) Ohio’s New Learning StandardsGallipolis City Schools (GCS) adopted new standards in
language arts and mathematics, which have been adopted by 45 states, providing a clear and consistent understanding of what students are expected to learn to be college and career ready. The standards, referred to as the Common Core, provide a relevant and rigorous curriculum to better prepare our students to compete in a global economy. GCS is also implementing the Ohio Department of Education 2010 science and social studies standards as well as updated standards in fine arts, physical education, technology and world languages. During the 2012-2013 school year, elementary teachers implemented new language arts and mathematic textbooks and supplemental material that aligned to the Common Core. The District continues to work on the transition to fully align pacing guides, material and assessments to the more rigorous standards.

“Excellent with Distinction”! The 2012–2013 school year started with a lot of excitement as we received the Ohio Department of Education’s highest mark for high achievement scores on the OAA’s. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Green Elementary has achieved an “Excellent” status from ODE. Along with this honor, Green was also selected as an Ohio School of Promise. Green was one of 164 schools identified as a School of Promise. Honors kept coming as in the spring of 2013 Green was awarded the Ohio School of Honor. Only 92 schools in Ohio were awarded the School of Honor. Green Elementary had a great team for the 2012-13 school year. I am very proud of our staff and especially our teachers for all their dedication, hard work, and their accomplishments!
Green Elementary is proud of the students, parents, teachers, cooks, custodians, secretary, educational aides, bus drivers, and volunteers. Thank you for another excellent year!
Green Elementary will be losing three valued members of the staff due to retirement. Moving on to new endeavors are Mrs. Barb Burnett, Intervention Specialist, Mrs. Cathy Elliott, School Nurse, and Mrs. Shawn Saunders, Preschool Intervention. They have each made a positive impact on many of our students and on Green Elementary. They will be greatly missed and we wish them the very best.
