Each year the Ohio Basketball Coach's Association honors teams across the state for academic performance. Their most notable award is the Team Academic Award which recognizes the top 5 boys and girls teams. Our Varsity team GPA (Calculated using top 9) was 3.93. This put us in the top 5 boys teams in the entire state of Ohio. This is a tremendous honor for our program and a credit to the type of kids and parents we have. Thank you to our students, staff and families for their commitment to academics.

If you care about fair funding for public schools, now is the time to act. Here’s how you can help:
📢 Contact your state legislators and tell them:
➡️ Update both sides of the Fair School Funding formula.
➡️ Hold private schools accountable if they receive public funding.
➡️ Stop forcing local taxpayers to fill the gap.
💡 Ask questions like:
Why aren’t private schools audited like public schools?
Why do public schools have to follow strict financial rules while private schools do not?
Why is our funding being cut while private school vouchers increase?
🎓 Public schools educate 90% of Ohio’s kids. They deserve fair and predictable funding.
Thank you for your continued support of Wapakoneta City Schools!
