Mission and Vision of Greene County Schools

The Greene County School System provides quality educational experiences and extra-curricular activities to approximately 6,500 students enrolled in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The basic education and majority of the special education services are delivered through seven elementary schools, four middle schools, four high schools, and one alternative school. Additional programs are located at the Glenwood Education Center. The success of these programs is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of the approximate 530 certified and 350 classified personnel employed by the system.


Mission Statement

We Guide, Cultivate, and Succeed.
