Education is more than an investment in our students — it’s an investment in our entire community.
This week’s fact: East Palestine Schools spends an average of $16,131.12 per student each year.
That investment provides the instruction, programs, and opportunities our students experience every day — and helps prepare them for the future, whether that means entering the workforce, pursuing higher education, starting a business, or becoming an active and contributing member of our community.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember.
Today, we honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the first responders who courageously put their own lives on the line to save others. We remember the heroes, the families, and a nation forever changed—and we carry their stories and sacrifices with us.
We will never forget.
