Grants help Centerville Schools' efforts to mentor, attract diverse staff members Through community surveys over the years, Centerville-Washington Township residents have indicated that attracting and retaining quality teachers is a priority for the community. Leaders in Centerville Schools are taking that feedback a step further by continuing their efforts to not only find teaching candidates who are the "best of the best," but also to search for potential staff members from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations. Over the past two years, the district has received two grants to assist with these efforts. DISTRICT NEWS & EVENTS 2021-22 district calendar available
