Every Student Every Day
Welcome to Medina City Schools
Home of the Battling Bees
The Medina City School District encompasses approximately 52 square miles which includes the City of Medina and Montville, Medina and a portion of Lafayette Townships. The district has seven elementary buildings, two middle schools, and one high school.
Utilizing a collaborative approach, we are able to provide outstanding academics and extracurricular activities to our students in an effort to ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education. We are a district which consists of community schools where all members play an important role in the development of our students.
Our ultimate goal is not just graduation but providing students with the necessary skills to be good citizens and successful adults as they navigate through life. It is important to instill good moral values and character that reflect the pride and expectations of our community.
Medina City Schools strives to meet the needs of "Every Student, Every Day."

The transition to kindergarten is an important milestone for your child and family. The staff from Medina City Schools looks forward to joining you on this journey. Our elementary principals and kindergarten teachers wanted to provide you with resources and ideas that you can incorporate into your everyday routines to continue to support your child as they prepare to start kindergarten. Every week we will share a Getting Ready for Kindergarten tip and accompanying video to continue to strengthen the skills for school readiness.

Important Information About Medina High School Graduation
Commencement is scheduled for Saturday, May 20, 2023, at 11:00 AM in Ken Dukes Stadium. At this time, there is light rain in the forecast. If the rain is light, we will proceed as planned. If the rain becomes heavy, we will postpone until later in the day to be determined based on the weather forecast. This will be communicated as soon as possible to allow travel time to the stadium. If the weather is inclement for the entire day and we cannot hold graduation on Saturday, May 20, 2023, we will utilize the rain date of Sunday, May 21, 2023, in the stadium at 11:00 AM. Communication will be made early on the Medina High School website and through our notification system early in the day on Saturday, should any plans change.
As a reminder, our mandatory graduation practice is on Thursday, May 18th, at 9:00 AM. Chromebook and charger drop off will begin at 8:30 AM inside the B3 gym doors for those students who do not drop them off at the HUB by Wednesday, May 17th.
