What Miller City High School does

Miller City-New Cleveland District is a public K-12 school district operating under the Ohio Department of Education, headquartered at 200 North Main Street, Miller City, OH 45864. The district serves students in the Miller City and New Cleveland communities in Putnam County, Ohio, through three schools: an Elementary School (K-5), a Middle School (6-8), and a High School (9-12). Operating under a direct-enrollment model, the district provides tuition-free public education to district residents, with bus transportation and on-site service delivery. Leadership includes Superintendent Kerry Johnson, Middle & High School Principal Matthew Frey, Elementary Principal Dustin Pester, and Treasurer Rosemary Drummelsmith, supported by approximately 50+ staff across teaching, administrative, IT, transportation, nursing, and counseling functions.

The district's educational program extends beyond core academic instruction to include College Credit Plus (CCP) dual enrollment, Career and Technical Education pathways in agriculture, manufacturing, engineering technology, and business management, special education services (intervention specialists, speech pathology, occupational therapy, psychological services), Title I federal supplemental support, and the HOSA health science student organization. Operations rely on third-party educational technology platforms: Schoology for learning management, Progressbook for grade tracking and parent/student portal access, Final Forms for registration and administrative forms, Payschools Central for cafeteria meal payments, and Apptegy for the district website. Official mobile applications are published for both iOS and Android to support family engagement.

The district is funded through Ohio's public education finance system — state formula aid, local property taxes, and federal education funding — and does not charge tuition. Specialized educational services, including preschool, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and psychological services, are delivered through a strategic partnership with the Putnam County Educational Service Center (ESC). The district operates under the "Wildcats" mascot and serves as a fixed community institution within its defined attendance boundaries, with no commercial revenue model, no private capital structure, and no out-of-district enrollment channels.
