About Us Home

The Bellbrook-Sugarcreek School District strives each day, from its entire staff to its youngest students, to be better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today. The district’s mission is to empower its students to Do the Right Thing; Soar Together and Pursue Excellence.

The district has consistently been noted as one of the top-performing districts in Ohio. For the last four years, the school district has been one of the best in the state, garnering five stars in each State Report Card, one of very few in the state to accomplish that feat, and one of only 39 to earn 5-stars four years consecutively.

Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools received an overall rating of 5 stars and earned 5 stars in several component areas (Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, Graduation, Workforce Readiness, and Early Literacy). 

The district operates under a locally elected five-person board that oversees finances, staff, facilities and curriculum. The Board of Education meets on the second Thursday of each month at Bellbrook Middle School. There are four other meetings each year which rotate to the other buildings in the district. Their meetings can be watched in real time by clicking here. The board hires a superintendent who handles the day-to-day operations of the district.

Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools are funded primarily by local property taxes, grants, fees and contributions, as well as some funding from the state.

The district consists of five buildings. The Board of Education, Central Office and Preschool are located in the St. Pierre Education Center. Grades K-2 report to Stephen Bell Elementary, 3-5 are at BellCreek Intermediate, 6-8 are at Bellbrook Middle School and 9-12 are at Bellbrook High School. Overall, the district serves 2,650 students with its 260 staff members.

Each of the buildings in the district have been designated as Purple Star buildings, meaning they exemplify a major commitment to students and families connected to the military. Students continue to excel on state tests and score high on ACT and SAT tests.

Athletic teams consistently win the Southwestern Buckeye League titles – including 10 straight all-sports titles as of the 2025-26 season – and the Marching Eagles have won numerous national titles. Our Drones teams are four-time national champions, too!

All of these endeavors are aided by the work of the PTO, athletic boosters, music boosters and the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Education Foundation, as well as several other charitable groups. The BSEF is a non-profit organization that raises money for scholarships, teacher grants and other academic, capital improvement and community ventures.

But none of these accomplishments happen without the teachers and staff who go above and beyond on an everyday basis, as well as the families in the district who take an active role in their students' education to make the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek educational system that much stronger.
