Piqua City Schools District in Miami County, Ohio, serves students in grades pre-K through 12. Its five schools are scattered throughout the city and offer various academic programs and after school activities for its pupils.
The school board is responsible for overseeing the district, with members elected for four-year terms. Ballotpedia can be an invaluable tool in helping voters make an informed decision and access candidate details on various issues.
Piqua City Schools students benefit from accessing breakfast and lunch through the National School Lunch Program, offering well-balanced meals that fulfill one-third of their Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). A computer debit system allows them to purchase their meals; prices are deducted as they pass through the line.
Students are strongly encouraged to attend all events at their schools; however, if your child is sick, please refrain from sending them. In addition to risking their health and safety, infected students could spread illness throughout their class and spread infection further afield.

Piqua Public Library Archives and Special Collections was honored to receive the Favorite Hill Elementary School Parent and Teachers Association Records Collection on the occasion of its closure and subsequent demolition in June 2015 by accessioning these four files spanning from 1959 through 1989 into one Hollinger box.

Fees
