The Greensburg Salem school board, staff, and community work together to provide a high quality education extending beyond the walls of the classroom, adopting a simple, yet powerful slogan, Children First - Engagement Always.

Children First means we will strive to put our children, their needs, future and well-being first in our planning, decisions, and actions. 

Engagement Always means we will strive to create learning environments in the classroom, events, and extracurricular activities that allow children to be agents and owners of their learning. It calls for dedicated stakeholders focused on rebuilding our connections within our schools and communities.

We are committed to our mission of educating every child to become a productive and responsible citizen in their future and will continue to ensure that every child succeeds in developing their skills, knowledge, and understanding for building their Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service in our community. We will follow the Greensburg Salem Pathway to Success (GPS) to move toward this vision.
