We’re so excited to have all of our #GreenonKnights students in the buildings with us — including our newest Knights, our kindergarteners! We love seeing our older students step up as leaders, helping our kinders get acquainted with the building, guiding them through the breakfast line, and teaching them how to open their milks!

Coach Jeff Nickles achieved a big milestone - the 200th win as the coach for the #GreenonKnights mens soccer team! Congratulations, Coach Nickles, on this HUGE achievement 👏 ⚽️

Greenon is taking on Northeastern in the Goodwill Easterseals Drive to Victory: Band Edition next week! A donation trailer will be on our campus on Monday morning, Aug. 25 and open for donations 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday–Thursday.

Bring your gently used clothing, household items, and more—every pound counts! At the end of the week, donations will be weighed to determine the winner, which will be announced on Touchdown 7 on WHIO.

And here’s the fun twist 🎺—Northeastern’s band director is actually a former student of OUR Greenon band director, so the rivalry hits a high note this year!

Let’s show them how generous our #GreenonKnights community is!

Welcome back #GreenonKnights! It’s a new year for new adventures! Here’s to a great school year 🎉

Let's give a #GreenonKnights welcome to Drew Kelly, our new Head Men's Basketball coach!

Background in the Sport and Years of Experience: My father and grandfather both coached at high school and college levels, so I literally grew up in a gym around the game of basketball. I played high school basketball for Centennial High School in Franklin, TN and then to Division 1, Morehead State University, where I was a four-year captain. As for coaching, after I finished with my Master’s, I coached for Bath County High School in Kentucky. After that, I was on staff as an assistant coach last year at Greenon. I am excited to continue coaching this program!

Coaching Philosophy: I try to implore a service before self-style of coaching. My faith and walk with Christ over the past few years have really taught me to try to be a servant to others around me. I think basketball can be a great teacher for the challenges that these young men will face in life. For the on-court stuff, I like to push the tempo, sit down and guard. Let the guys be basketball players. These guys will learn to compete till the buzzer sounds and do what it takes to be all in.

For our Knights teams and fans: I’m very blessed and honored to be selected as the next head coach for Greenon High. I married Allie Turner who played here from 2006 to 2010 and it's really cool to be able to pour back into the community that she grew up in. Thanks for GLSD leadership for giving me a chance to coach these young men and God willing, I’m looking forward to being around as your head coach for many years to come.

Some of our #GreenonKnights admin team visited the Greenon FFA Corn booth at The Clark County Fair today 🌽 Don’t forget to stop by to support our students!!

We’d love to see our Greenon Knights community show up and support by placing an order in the McDonald’s App tomorrow!
 10% of all digital app sales from the entire day will be donated directly to Greenon Local Schools! Encourage friends and family to swing by — and be sure to stop in around 1:00 PM, when a special purple guest will be there handing out free backpacks to students (while supplies last)! Huge thank you to Team Holowicki for choosing our district for this event!
