Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Staff,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope this message finds you rested, recharged, and ready to begin another year of growth, learning, and community.
As we begin this new school year, I am filled with pride and excitement about the incredible progress our district continues to make. Most notably, I am thrilled to announce the completion of our brand-new baseball field, a facility that reflects our ongoing commitment to providing top-tier opportunities for our student-athletes and the broader school community. This project would not have been possible without the support of our community, and we look forward to celebrating many games and accomplishments on this new field.
Academically, our students have shown strong improvement, and we are proud to report gains in achievement scores across multiple grade levels. These results are a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our educators, and the support of our families. While we celebrate these gains, we are also doubling down on our commitment to academic growth for every student. Our district focus this year remains on increasing rigor, enhancing instructional practices, and ensuring that each child has the support they need to succeed.
We are also expanding our investment in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education—ensuring students not only gain foundational knowledge but are prepared for a world that demands creativity, innovation, and collaboration. Our STEAM initiatives will include enhanced project-based learning, deeper integration of technology in the classroom, and real-world learning experiences.
At the heart of all we do is our connection to the community. Adena Local Schools remains committed to building strong partnerships with our families, local businesses, and community organizations. Together, we are creating a school environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
I want to thank each of you—students, parents, teachers, and staff—for your continued commitment to making Adena a great place to learn and grow. Let’s make the 2025–2026 school year our best one yet!
With Warrior Pride,
Dr. Matthew Unger
Superintendent
