“The Momentum Award from the Ohio Department of Education is a wonderful distinction for Galion and the school community,” said Galion Middle School Principal Joe Morabito,. “The students and staff work hard each day to create a cohesive learning environment. Our parents and community members are extremely supportive and helpful throughout the school year to form a great partnership.”

Galion Middle School received an A on the state report card in four areas of achievement designated by the Ohio Department of Education, including Overall Achievement, Gifted, Students in the Lowest 20% of Achievement and Students with Disabilities.

“I am very proud of the administration, staff, and students for earning this state-level award,” Galion Superintendent Jim Grubbs said. “This is not only a positive reflection of the work being done inside the Middle School, it also shows that our families are working diligently to help their children reach a higher level of academic achievement. Great things are happening in Galion. It’s a great day to be a Tiger!”
