A message
from the superintendent . . .
Tri-Val
l
e I am pleased to report that the school year is off to a fantastic start! Considering that the school district
y
serves 3172 students, operates 29 bus routes, and encompasses 230 square miles… I am always impressed by
the professionalism of our staff and students as we begin a new school year. It might surprise many of our residents
to know that Tri-Valley Schools is now one of the top ten employers in Muskingum County. Recent upticks in the housing
market have also made it quite evident that the real estate market, in terms of home values and ability to sell property, is better
than any other area in the county. One more interesting statistic that is important to remember as we enter the upcoming election
season, is that Tri-Valley has not had an operating levy on the ballot since the mid 1980’s.
As I begin my tenth year as superintendent with a bit of reflection, I have been privileged to work with some of the best teachers,
administrators, coaches, and school board members that a person could ever hope to call colleagues. As a father of three Tri-Val-
ley graduates and a resident of the school district, I have developed professional relationships and in many cases friendships with
many of our bus drivers, mechanics, cafeteria workers, classroom aides, and secretarial staff. I am proud of what we have accom-
plished together.
The Tri-Valley School District currently ranks at the top of the list countywide in terms of student achievement, extra-curricular ac-
tivities, financial stability, new home construction, and overall property values. These achievements are a direct result of our many
hardworking dedicated staff, elected school board members, and the overwhelming support of the entire Tri-Valley Community.
I share these facts with you because the school district is rapidly approaching the November election and monumental decisions
are looming on the horizon. Three of our five seats on the Board of Education will be on the ballot this fall. Two of the seats are for
full four year terms and one seat is for a two year term. Effectively, the direction of the school district could change completely as
a result of this election. I encourage all residents to familiarize themselves with the candidates, research their individual platforms,
and most importantly… participate in the election on November 7th for the continued success of the Tri-Valley Schools.
Off to a Great Start!

and the district’s educator and staff support personnel for the
2016-17 year.
The 2016-17 Educator of the Year was presented to Selina
Emerson, first grade teacher at Dresden Elementary. Selina has
taught for ten years; five years as a kindergarten teacher and
the past five years as a first grade teacher at Dresden. Her
nominator stated, “Selina is an inspirational model for teachers
and students. She has an engaging personality and teaching
style that encompasses the needs of the whole child.” “Selina is
a skilled leader who encourages, supports and brings new ideas
and energy to the entire building. She pours her heart and soul
into her career and sets the bar high for other educators who
aspire to teach and connect with children.”
Evelyn Prince, Dresden Elementary assistant cook, was named
the 2016-17 Support Staff Person of the Year. Evelyn’s nomina-

“Stop the Bleed” Staff Training
Prior to the opening day of school, Tri-Valley High School staff wel-
comed TVHS alumni Matt Martin and a group of professionals from
Genesis Health Care System to the school for a very important training.
Matt, once a student to many of the staff at Tri-Valley, became the
teacher in this training.
Jane Kilgore, Trauma Program Manager with Trauma Services at
Genesis Health Care System collaborated with high school principal,
John Harris to offer this valuable training opportunity. Her group will
provide this same training to all Tri-Valley buildings throughout the
comingschool year.
Genesis Trauma Services in collaboration with the American College of
Surgeons Committee on Trauma is leading the effort to save lives by
teaching our community how to stop uncontrolled bleeding in
emergency conditions. This nationwide incentive was developed based on the Sandy Hook School tragedy in 2012 and the Boston
Marathon Bombing, where victims died because bleeding was not controlled. The education includes how to recognize uncontrolled
bleeding, the proper use of tourniquets and direct pressure. After the education, each school that participates receives five bleeding
control kits to be placed in the schools.

my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty,
One of the perks of living in our rural community is the strong 4-H program that is prevalent in Muskingum County. Hundreds of Tri-Val-
ley students participate in 4-H each year. Students choose their projects in early spring and then work hard all summer to present those
projects at the Muskingum County Fair in August. 4-H’ers may choose to take an animal project and/or still projects which include sew-
ing, wood crafts, public speaking and creative arts. 4-H instills in each participant the importance of commitment, time management,
responsibility and perseverance. We congratulate the many students who are members of local 4-H clubs and recognize them for their
hard work. Listed below are Tri-Valley students who placed or won in their respective classes.
Students who placed or won their Showmanship classes at the fair are
respective animal projects judged on how well the 4-H member
handles their animal in the judging ring.
