The Amherst Exempted Village School District is one of the top academic districts in northeast Ohio. Amherst is committed to providing a quality educational experience designed to meet the needs of each student in an atmosphere of respect for individual differences, learning styles, and personal development. From tuition-free, all-day Kindergarten at Powers Elementary School to our advanced placement (AP) courses and the Comet College Campus at Steele High School, Amherst exemplifies our district vision, “A Community of Excellence”.
We believe that parents and community members are vital partners in education and play an important role in helping us plan and implement programs and services that meet the high expectations for Amherst residents. If you have any questions about Amherst’s educational programs and services, please contact Superintendent Michael Molnar at mike_molnar@amherstk12.org or 440-988-4406.
Our Mission
The mission of the Amherst School is to educate, equip, and empower all students to choose their path and make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
Our Strategic Plan
The Amherst Schools is proud to introduce a new strategic plan that will guide our district over the next three to five years. This plan is designed to elevate the Amherst Schools into new heights, ensuring that we continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for all students.
Our strategic plan is built around the three E's of our mission statement: educate, equip, and empower. Every decision, initiative, and practice will revolve around these pillars to ensure that we are providing a holistic and impactful education.
The strategic plan has been a collective effort. The school district is grateful for the input and support from the board members, teachers, staff, parents, and community members who served on the Strategic Planning Committee. The new strategic plan can be found below as a slideshow or download the full strategic plan here.
We look forward to seeing the positive impact of our strategic plan as we work together to educate, equip, and empower every student in our district. Together, we will create the brightest future for our students and uphold the values of excellence that define the Amherst Schools. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!
