About the Board of Education
The Strongsville City School District Board of Education is made up of five dedicated, elected members, each residing within the Strongsville City Schools community. Together, they provide leadership, governance, and oversight to ensure our schools continue to thrive.
The Board typically meets twice each month to discuss district initiatives, approve policies, and make decisions that directly impact our students, staff, and families. These meetings are open to the public, and the Board welcomes your engagement, feedback, and questions.
Below, you will find biographical information and contact details for each Board of Education member. We encourage you to learn more about their backgrounds and reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas.
