Findlay City Schools is located in the heart of Hancock County and serves a growing cultural and economically diverse population, the Findlay City Schools encompass approximately 37 square miles. Presently, the district is comprised of one high school, two middle schools, three intermediate buildings, three primary buildings, one preschool building, and the Trojan Academy serving over 5,200 students. The Findlay Trojan tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and all extracurricular activities is based on collaboration between our students, staff, administrators, parents and the community, who take great interest in our students. The well-qualified and caring staff is committed to creating an outstanding learning environment and a culture for excellence that supports and encourages our students and staff in their academic, extra-curricular, and personal growth.
Findlay City Schools considers “facilitating student achievement” in a safe and caring environment as one of our top priorities (Strategic Plan – Strategy I & II). In many of our core subject areas, the district is using the Ohio Department of Education academic content standards, which ensures the written curriculum, classroom instruction, and assessments of all learning to match an alignment which research suggests makes a powerful achievement tool for our students.
Findlay, Ohio continues to be ranked the top micropolitan community in the United States for new and expanding facilities by Site Selection magazine, the official publication of the Global FDI Association and the Industrial Asset Management Council. The magazine ranked 575 of the nation’s micropolitan areas, cities of 10,000 to 50,000 people that cover at least one county. Rankings are based on qualified projects meeting one or more of three criteria: $1 MM or more invested, 20 or more jobs created, or 20,000 or more square feet constructed.
Findlay has also been named Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometown as well as a three-time choice in America’s Best Places for Kids. Findlay City Schools is a major factor in attaining that award. Working closely with the Community Foundation and many other community agencies, Findlay City Schools continues to offer programs that help nurture the whole child including service learning, guidance, wellness, award-winning music programs, nationally-recognized journalism, fine arts courses, and intramural and competitive sports.
