East Palestine City School District

At East Palestine Schools, it is our goal to provide a rich and positive learning environment where all students are challenged to reach their highest potential. We are proud to provide students with a variety of educational programs, athletic teams, and extra-curricular activities so that all students can demonstrate success. In East Palestine, we make learning and the school experience engaging and meaningful. Together we emphasize and promote positive behavior and take pride in our school, self, and peers. By practicing these behaviors, we ensure that students are prepared for success as they transition through our schools and ultimately become productive members of our community.

It is my goal to work collaboratively to fulfill the district’s mission of educational excellence. I am dedicated to working closely with our principals, teachers, and staff to provide them with the resources, professional development, and support they need to excel in their roles. As a school district, we will continue to foster a culture of teamwork, transparency, and commitment to excellence.

With everyone’s support, I am certain we can accomplish great things for our students and our community. In the East Palestine Schools, everyone matters in the overall development of our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me through e-mail at james.rook@myepschools.org or you can contact our central office at 330-426-4191.

On behalf of the entire school district, thank you for your continued support of our schools. And as always, Go Bulldogs!

With Bulldog Pride,

Dr. James Rook, Superintendent
