Dear Geneva Area City Schools Community,
It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I join you as the new Superintendent of Geneva Area City Schools. As we move forward together, I want to take this opportunity to share the vision that will guide our work—and to invite your voice into shaping the future we are building for our students. Geneva Area City Schools is a district deeply committed to educating and empowering the whole child. We believe that academic excellence is just the beginning. Our goal is for every student to not only be academically prepared, but also to have opportunities to express themselves fully—whether through the arts, athletics, leadership, or service. These priorities are not separate; they work in harmony to create the true essence of holistic education.
Rooted in our proud legacy, being an Eagle means showing up to every moment with purpose, listening with heart, and leading with understanding. This spirit lives not only within our schools, but also throughout our greater community. Though we strive to improve each day, Geneva is a place where we challenge one another, aim for excellence, and always believe in the power of growth.
Geneva Area City Schools will continue to stand as a beacon of excellence and opportunity for families who believe in the transformative power of public education. We will embrace the challenges before us not as obstacles, but as opportunities to grow stronger—together. This means pursuing greatness in every detail: in the pride reflected in our buildings, in the depth of our relationships, and in every interaction that communicates trust, quality, and hope.
Our work is not done alone. We are building a team of passionate, dedicated individuals who believe in collaboration, integrity, and accountability. Excellence is not the work of one—it is the work of all. We are not just colleagues—we are a community, a family, united by a shared commitment to give every student the opportunity to thrive.
As we move forward, we will remain focused on foundational goals: ensuring every child is a confident reader and writer by third grade, preparing every graduate with the academic strength to succeed, and instilling the leadership, character, and courage to shape their own futures. Whether their path leads to college, career, or service, we want every student to be free—to pursue their dreams, define their success, and live out their boldest aspirations.
This is our promise. This is our future.
Thank you for welcoming me into this incredible community. I’m eager to listen, learn, and lead with you.
To begin that process, I would greatly appreciate you taking a few moments to complete the brief survey linked below. Your insights will help me better understand our district's current climate, culture, strengths, and areas where we can grow together.
Together, we will rise to meet the challenges ahead and build the future our students deserve.
Warmly,
Paul A. Lombardo, Ed.D.
