Can't wait for Lunch Time...
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Did you know that regular school attendance will help improve reading scores by 3rd grade, helps middle school students achieve greater academic success, and increases the likelihood of graduating from high school? Galion City Schools is dedicated to working with families to reduce absenteeism rates for the 2024-25 school year. Look for more information about attendance and absenteeism to come throughout the month of September and the remainder of the year.
The Technology Department at Galion City Schools would like to remind everyone of some basic internet safety tips. Check back each week this month for more Tuesday Tech Tips and information.
See you on Tuesday Tigers 🐅

Wow, what a day it was! As we have often said, safety is always at the forefront of our thoughts and decisions. Today we had a unique opportunity to exercise part of our mission statement by providing an additional safe environment for our students. We want to express our sincere gratitude to Pastor Paul Walter at Grace Point Church for allowing us to use their facility as our place of safety for the students of Galion Intermediate. A special thank you goes to our maintenance staff and Fox Plumbing for quickly repairing the leaky regulator. Thanks to them we will all be back in school tomorrow as normal. A shout-out goes to our amazing kitchen staff, aides, and teachers for getting lunches out the door and our students to their designated place of safety and keeping them entertained while waiting to be reunited with their families. Finally a huge thank you to all of you, our parents, guardians, and emergency transportation contacts. Your graciousness and flexibility are greatly appreciated. We are extremely pleased with how the situation unfolded. Thank you for your support today! It truly is a great day to be a Tiger!
Thank you to all parents of Intermediate students and our
amazing staff members from all buildings who jumped in to help us today as we had to evacuate one of our buildings. All students are enjoying lunch and games as they await family members to pick them up. Stay tuned for more information to come this evening regarding today's event.

We had an amazing turn out for our 2024-25 Open House tonight. Thank you for attending! Families were able to meet teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, pick up schedules, try out lockers, and sign up for several school activities. Thank you PTO, Key Club, Teen Institute, and many more organizations for sharing information with our community. We appreciate all our teachers and staff members who stayed to greet our families. Don't forget tomorrow is a 2-hr delay! Get some sleep and we will see you here in the morning. It's a great day to be a TIGER!

Galion High School is pleased to announce two new principals for the new school year. Mr. Don Vogt joined us from Ridgedale, where he was the junior high/high school principal. He brings extensive experience in teaching, coaching, and administration. Mr. Vogt looks forward to meeting each teacher, staff, and student and is eager for the school year to get started.
Miss Calli Bauer, a 2014 graduate of Galion High School, has been working at the Middle School as an Intervention Specialist. We are excited to bring her into the assistant principal role this year. Miss Bauer has shown tremendous leadership in several of our district’s initiatives and will continue to coach Varsity Softball.
We look forward to working with Mr. Vogt and Miss Bauer this year. Thank you for the continuous support of all our staff and students.
