Each program meets or exceeds Ohio State Curriculum standards.

          Manufacturing Day: K-8th Grade (One school in Shelby County is chosen each year)

The school programs are supported by grants from the Monarch Foundation, Shelby County Community Foundation, Shelby County United Way, and the Sidney/Shelby Chamber of CommerceWe greatly appreciate their continued support.
