COLUMBUS — The Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA) announced that Emerson Primary School in the Sidney City School District has been selected as a 2024 OAESA Hall of Fame School.

The Hall of Fame School Award recognizes schools that engage faculty, students, and the community to provide a quality school experience. The school staff submitted an extensive application documenting the effectiveness of their educational program in several areas. Hall of Fame Schools were selected by committees of OAESA members.

Emerson Primary was nominated for this honor and in accepting the nomination, the school staff went through an extensive application documenting the effectiveness of their educational program in several areas. The process included interviews with staff, students, and families.

Emerson Primary is one of seven elementary schools throughout Ohio to earn this honor.

OAESA will recognize winners of the Hall of Fame Award during OAESA’s centennial celebration on June 17 at the OAESA Professional Conference and Tradeshow at the Hilton Easton in Columbus, Ohio.

“This is another example of the quality of our schools,” said Superintendent Bob Humble. “I couldn’t be more proud of the Emerson students and staff for being awarded this honor.”

OAESA will be at the May 20 school board meeting to share the award with the Sidney City Schools Board of Education. The school board meeting will be held at Sidney Middle School beginning at 6 p.m.
