Geneva Area City Schools is proud to introduce a new districtwide recognition program designed to honor the outstanding individuals who make a difference in the lives of our students each day. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a Culture of Excellence across our schools and throughout our community.
As part of this program, one staff member from each building has been selected as a Building GATA Staff Member of the Year and a Building OAPSE Staff Member of the Year. These honorees will move forward to a districtwide vote, where all employees will help select the 2025–2026 GATA Staff Member of the Year and the 2025–2026 OAPSE Staff Member of the Year. In addition, administrators across the district will be nominated, with staff voting to select the 2025–2026 Administrator of the Year.
This program was created to recognize the dedication, care, and professionalism of our employees, as well as the positive impact they have on our students, families, and community.
You can view the nominees in each category here:

The winners in each of the three categories will be announced during the Board of Education meeting on May 20, 2026, where all honorees will be recognized for their contributions. Each winner will receive a Chromebook, generously donated by STS Education, along with a certificate of appreciation, and will have their name displayed on a plaque at the Board of Education office.
We are incredibly proud of the exceptional staff members who serve our district and are grateful for the meaningful work they do every day. Thank you for your continued support of Geneva Area City Schools.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul A. Lombardo
Superintendent

Athletic Facility Capital Campaign
Geneva students need your help!
Due to changes at SPIRE Academy, many of our students are now facing unexpected challenges accessing extracurricular and athletic opportunities. To ensure our students continue to have the facilities they deserve, the Geneva Board of Education has committed to funding new athletic spaces, but we can’t do it alone.
To add important amenities like restrooms, locker rooms, and storage areas, we have launched the Geneva Athletic Facilities Capital Campaign.. You can also learn more by visiting our homepage at Genevaschools.org and using the link labeled “Athletic Facility Campaign.” We ask you to consider donating and sharing our campaign with others.

Thank you for your support, and please help us spread the word.
The session scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, will take place as planned.
Both meetings will be held in the Geneva High School Media Center.
We look forward to seeing you.
