OSBA helps you recognize those businesses that support your school district. Thank you to the districts that participated in the 2025 Business Honor Roll program. The program will be featured in the June OSBA Journal and a full list of 2025 honorees can be found here.
Businesses large and small, corporate-owned or family-run, play a key role in supporting the community and local schools. From helping schools with in-kind or financial contributions, donating to scholarship programs and supporting extracurriculars to offering internship opportunities, volunteering in the schools and sponsoring field trips, businesses contribute to schools in many ways.
OSBA will mail personalized recognition certificates and letters of congratulations for each business to district superintendents in time for boards to present to them at the boards’ May meetings.
For any questions, reach out to Wanda Bloch at (614) 540-4000 or wbloch@ohioschoolboards.org.
What does the OSBA Business Honor Roll mean to your district?
“The businesses in our community truly help us provide the ‘icing on the cake’ for our district. Their contributions help to provide for purchases we otherwise could not afford and therefore enhance the student experience. We are extremely grateful for the businesses that offer support with their time or donations.”
- Ann Niess, board member, Miamisburg City
"The Lockland Local school district appreciates that OSBA provides a forum [for] us to recognize the supportive business partners who work collaboratively with us throughout the year to better meet the needs of our kids, families and community. All Ohio districts are blessed [to have] supportive partners who care about public education…OSBA should be commended for their annual focus and attention which ensures that their stories are told and their commitment is recognized."
- Bob Longworth, superintendent, Lockland Local (Hamilton)
“Our Business Honor Roll recipients offer our programs insights, solutions, mentoring and recommendations tailored to the unique needs and goals of the workforce. These businesses bring a fresh perspective to the classroom and make learning relevant. They assure that our programs are adapting to changing workforce needs and are staying up to date on technology and other emerging industry trends." - Jason Haak, superintendent, Upper Valley Career Center
