Greensburg Community School Corporation

What Greensburg Community School Corporation does

Greensburg Community School Corporation (GCSC) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Greensburg, Indiana, serving approximately 2,100 students across Decatur County. The corporation operates five core instructional programs: Greensburg Community High School (grades 9-12), Greensburg Junior High School (grades 6-8), Greensburg Elementary School (K-5), Pirate Preschool (free state-certified pre-K for four-year-olds), and the newly launched Greensburg Jr./Sr. Virtual School (online public school for Indiana grades 6-12). The district has been led by Superintendent Dr. Thomas Hunter since 1999 and is governed by a seven-member elected Board of School Trustees.

The district's core technology stack combines a nine-year 1:1 laptop program (every student K-12 has a personal device), Project Lead The Way STEM curriculum spanning all grade bands, Z-Space AR/VR labs at the high school, and a standard educational SaaS layer (Google Classroom, Canvas, IXL, Seesaw, Skyward SIS, Clever SSO, ParentSquare). Notable proprietary assets include an Early College High School designation enabling 45 dual credit courses through Ivy Tech Community College, 17 CTE career pathways, dedicated vocational facilities (welding, construction, manufacturing, CNA lab, agriculture), and a STEMConnects innovation lab at the junior high. The district is a 2025-26 PLTW Distinguished District (one of 10 in Indiana) with IDOE STEM Certification at both the elementary and junior high levels.

Greensburg's business model is standard public K-12 funding: state per-pupil allocations, local property tax revenues, federal Title I and categorical grants, supplemented by $5.6M in COVID-era ESSER/GEER relief funds. Education is tuition-free for in-district students; ancillary revenue comes from a self-supporting food service operation (meal fees $1.60-$4.60) that receives no General Fund dollars. Distribution is multi-modal: traditional in-person enrollment at four physical campuses, statewide online enrollment through the virtual school, and work-based learning placements with 124 local community partners including Ivy Tech and Decatur County Memorial Hospital. The district has invested over $60 million in facilities since 2000 without raising the local property tax rate.
