Recently, a few of our #GreenonKnights juniors attended the Money, Market & Megabytes Discovery Day!
This event is hosted by the Greater Springfield Partnership. Prior to the trip all juniors took the YouScience career aptitude assessment and learned about their top career clusters.
The event was set up like a Shark Tank style challenge. Students worked in teams to solve a real-world problem. Then they pitched their idea to a group of industry professional judges.
Join our Team! Reach out to Mr. Phelps, elementary principal, kphelps@greenonschools.org, to express interest or for more information!
It's time to start gearing up for our #GreenonKnights Homecoming week!
Reminder! Our Fall Picture Day is coming up!
7-12: September 29, 2026
K-6: September 30, 2026
We can't wait to see those #GreenonKnights smiles!
It’s the annual Apple On Top Challenge! 🍎
Our #GreenonKnights 7th grade STEM students in Mrs. Rickets’ class put their engineering skills to the test by designing a device to hold an “apple” on their heads, then tested their creations in a relay race!
Always a favorite STEM project!
Our #GreenonKnights 7th grade STEM class with Mrs. Ricketts finished their first engineering design challenge: building their own Battle Bots!
Then, they put their designs to the test making modifications along the way as they battled classmates’ bots and tried to pop their balloons.
Such a fun way to put the engineering design process into action!
Our #GreenonKnights seniors helped our Kindergarten Knights off the buses and into their classrooms this morning! 🫶
One K-12 campus. Two different beginnings. Our seniors are starting their final year as Greenon Knights while our kindergarteners are just beginning their journey.
There’s something pretty special about watching our oldest Knights welcome our youngest!
Good afternoon, Greenon Families,
My name is John Jewell, and I am the new 7–12 Principal at Greenon Jr./Sr. High School. As I begin my eighteenth year with Greenon, I am excited to welcome our students and families back for another great school year. We have several exciting events coming up as we prepare for the start of the school year.
First, this Saturday, August 8, Fall Meet the Knights will take place at Greenon in the HS Gym from 6:00–8:00 PM. The meeting will provide important athletic information from our new Athletic Director Evan Ivory.
Next, on Monday, August 17, we will host an Open House for all 8th–12th grade students from 5:00–7:00 PM at the Greenon 7–12 Campus. Students with last names A–M may pick up their schedules between 5:00–6:00 PM, while students with last names N–Z may do so between 6:00–7:00 PM. During Open House, students will have the opportunity to walk their schedules, meet their teachers, connect with counselors, and introduce themselves to our administrative team.
If you are unable to attend Open House or would like to view your schedule beforehand, schedules will be available in ProgressBook beginning Thursday, August 13, at 3:00 PM.
As a reminder, the first day of school is Thursday, August 20. We are looking forward to an outstanding school year filled with opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and succeed.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at jjewell@greenonschools.org. My door is always open, and I look forward to partnering with you to make this a great year for every Greenon student.
Please note: Information regarding 7th Grade Orientation will be sent in a separate communication. Orientation will be held on Thursday, August 13, from 5:30–7:30 PM.
Thank you for your continued support of Greenon Jr./Sr. High School. I can't wait to welcome everyone back and begin the 26-27 school year together.
Go Knights!

Meet Greenon Local Schools’ New Athletic Director, Evan Ivory!
Originally from Centerville, Evan grew up playing nearly every sport before focusing on basketball and volleyball. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Ohio University and his master’s degree in sports administration from Xavier University. Education has always been a part of his life as both of his parents were educators, inspiring his passion for helping students succeed both on and off the field.
Evan and his wife, Kristin, a school counselor with the Miami Valley ESC, have two children, Myles (7) and Ellie (5). Outside of work, you’ll often find them spending time at the pool or enjoying a round of golf.
Why the #GreenonKnights?
“What stood out to me immediately was the sense of community. Successful athletic programs are built on culture first, and I could see that Greenon already has those values in place. I knew Greenon was where I wanted to be as soon as I walked out of my first interview.”
Stay tuned for Part 2 of Meet the AD: Evan’s Vision for Greenon Athletics
Help us welcome our new Men's Golf Coach, Mike Bauser! Learn a little more about him...
Name: Mike Bauser
What are you most excited about as you begin coaching at Greenon? Helping the kids develop through the power of sport and teaching them how golf can build character on and off the golf course.
If you could play a round with any golfer, who would it be? Tiger Woods, just to watch it but at the end of the day I will always pick my dad.
What are you looking forward to in the 25-26 golf season? I know the team may young and we might have some beginners and that’s great! Sometimes that’s a really good thing. I know golf and one shot can make you want to play forever. I look forward to motivating and inspiring them to continue loving the game.
What message would you like to share with current and future Greenon golfers and our community? Greenon is a great school with great educators. Although the Greenon community is small, I believe it to be mighty. I look forward to representing the program and bringing Greenon values to life. Go Knights!
Greenon High School is proud to welcome Mike as the next head coach of the men's golf program, pending approval at the June 29, 2026, Board of Education meeting.

What are you most excited about as you begin coaching at Greenon?

Bryson DeChambeau.

Last week, students from Wright State University, from our Board member Dr. Hundley’s classes, visited Greenon Elementary!
They visited both our 6th grade and Kindergarten #GreenonKnights! They taught lessons on fossils and seasons. Some classes explored fossils by learning about paleontologists, coloring fossils, and participating in a hands-on Play-Doh dig activity, while other classes focused on the four seasons through a sensory bin, a game, and creating a season wheel to discuss months, clothing, and holidays for each season.
Thank you to these Wright State students, our students look forward to their visit each year!
Thank you to the administrative professionals who keep our buildings running smoothly! The #GreenonKnights students, staff, and community are thankful for ALL that you do!
Help us congratulate our #GreenonKnights Ruby Clark! Ruby qualified for the High School Outdoor National Championships in the 2000m steeplechase, set for this summer at the University of Oregon!
