Education System
Gahanna, the home of the Gahanna-Jefferson
Public School System, is conveniently located in northeast Franklin
County, adjacent to I-270 and approximately 8 miles from downtown Columbus.
The district, which includes the city of Gahanna and parts of Jefferson
and Mifflin townships, is a culturally diverse suburban area with about
36,000 residents. Some 7,000 students from kindergarten through grade
12, attend the district's seven elementary schools, three middle schools
and one high school. Approximately 64% of the students graduating from
Gahanna Lincoln High School are pursuing a four-year college education,
18% are entering two-year colleges, 3% are entering the military and
the remainder are pursuing other opportunities.
The elementary schools have approximately 450 students in each building.
The middle schools have around 550-570 students per building and the
high school level has around 2000 students in attendance.
The district also provides a 'big picture' view of education, going
beyond schools and encompassing the community. A broad scope of academic,
cultural and athletic programs abound for both students and adults.
The Gahanna Concert Series featuring nationally known musicians, local
community theater productions, the Gahanna City Recreation Department
and Junior League athletic events, local religious groups and Columbus
State Community College, all use the G-J facilities to provide services
that enhance educational opportunities for our students and the community.
 The
mission of the Gahanna-Jefferson School District is to develop citizens
who possess the self-esteem, motivation and skills needed to communicate
effectively, acquire and apply knowledge, make responsible decisions,
respect cultural diversity and adapt to the challenges of the 21st century,
by providing a diverse, well-trained staff, dedicated to delivering
a comprehensive curriculum which is based on research and which meets
student and community needs.
