What Steubenville City Schools does

Steubenville City Schools is a public PreK-12 school district headquartered at 611 N. 4th Street, Steubenville, Ohio, operating under the authority of the Ohio Department of Education. The district serves students across seven schools: Steubenville High School (grades 9-12), Harding Middle School (grades 5-8), East Garfield Elementary, Pugliese West Elementary, McKinley STEM Academy, Wells Academy, and the STARS program. Enrollment is open to district residents, and the entity is funded through state foundation aid, local property tax revenues, and federal program funds rather than direct tuition. School meals are provided at no or reduced cost through federal programs such as the Community Eligibility Provision.

The district's core product is a STEM-oriented K-12 education built on the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) curriculum, with PLTW Launch modules at every elementary grade level and PLTW Gateway at the middle school level. Specialized high school pathways include Innovations in Science & Technology (using National Instruments LabVIEW and myDAQ), Aerospace Engineering, Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Health Informatics, delivered in partnership with the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). Curriculum is supplemented with a broad EdTech toolset (Code.org, Minecraft Education, Google Classroom, SuccessMaker, EasyCode Foundations, LEGO Mindstorm, Sphero SPRK+, Ozobot, Dash Robotics, Makey Makey, AirBlock Drones, HOPSports) and College Credit Plus dual-enrollment with Belmont College, Lorain Community College, Stark State College, and Kent State University. Auxiliary facilities include the SHS Natatorium (public lap pool), Harding Stadium, SHS Auditorium, and Crimson Center.

The district's go-to-market is non-commercial: there is no sales motion, no pricing tiers, and no customer acquisition. Communications are handled through the district website (steubenville.k12.oh.us / rollred.org), social media (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter), email newsletters via Constant Contact, and community events. Key strategic recognition includes two National Blue Ribbon School awards (Pugliese West Elementary 2021, Harding Middle School 2024), five PLTW Launch Distinguished Schools (2023-24 cohort), the fifth consecutive year of PLTW Distinguished status at Harding Middle School (2025-26), a 2018 National ESEA Distinguished School designation for Pugliese West, and Ohio STEM Designation for McKinley STEM Academy. Leadership is headed by Superintendent Melinda Young, with dedicated STEM Director Shana Wydra overseeing pathway programs.
