Success and Access for ALL
Our Commitment
Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools embraces the rich perspectives and experiences from all students and staff.
As a District, we are committed to ensuring all students thrive from having access to high-quality educational resources and stimulating academic experiences. We want our students to take pride in what they offer the world around them and how it impacts others. We hope they build strong relationships by listening to and learning from other people who may be different from them. Above all we want them to be change-makers who help make the world a better place.
We want our educators and staff to create a safe, respectful space where all students are appropriately supported. We hope they model advocacy and give students chances to use what they have learned to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
