Dear Rocky River Community:

As we begin the 2023 calendar year, I would like to thank the entire Rocky River City School District community for the many ways you support our students, staff and schools. Our mission is to provide a caring environment and exceptional opportunities to produce successful students. We are able to accomplish that goal when everyone comes together to ensure students receive a high-quality education and share positive experiences in co-curricular activities.

The Rocky River City School District continues to rank among the top school districts in the state. This year, we ranked second among all districts in Ohio according to Ohio Department of Education report card. We have a long-standing tradition of academic excellence in our district and that is a direct reflection of the hard work of our students and staff and the support we receive from this outstanding community.

Our students’ talents and passions go well beyond the classroom walls and were on display during numerous activities and athletics, including band and choir concerts, the fall drama production, artwork and athletics events. I have had the opportunity to attend many school functions and I continue to be impressed by the accomplishments of our students.

I hope that each of you had the opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends over Winter Break. With the second half of the school year set to begin, it is a good time to revisit your goals for the school year and remain focused.

Thank you for your continued support of the Rocky River City School District.

Sincerely,

Michael Shoaf
Superintendent
