Giving back, caring for one another and treating each other with respect and grace have never been more important to our society because of the challenges presented by the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
As a district, Dublin City Schools prioritizes teaching these values to our students.
Furthermore, it is clear our community prides itself on developing a sense of compassion, empathy and caring in our young people. Our district’s mission mirrors these community values, as we strive daily not only to deliver world-class instruction but also to provide well-rounded experiences for our future leaders and citizens.
Dublin: 5 top stories from 2020
ThisWeek group
The world changed in 2020, with the COVID-19 coronavirus, civil unrest in major U.S. cities and a polarized political climate as just a few examples.
Dublin had its share of changes, too. Here’s a brief recap of five significant stories published in the
ThisWeek Dublin Villager during the past 12 months.
The Dublin North Market is part of the expanding Bridge Park, Crawford Hoying s mixed-use development that started construction in 2015 near state Route 161 and on the east bank of the Scioto River.
It has condos and apartments, restaurants and bars and commercial office space – and now a trendy market that North Market Development Authority executive director Rick Wolfe said he anticipates would be busier than its sister location, North Market Downtown, for the near future.

Dublin City Schools leaders do not yet know when the district will need a 15th elementary school, but they already have the site picked out.
The district has purchased 13 acres east of the Dublin Jerome High School campus, 8300 Hyland-Croy Road.
“There is no timeline for when another elementary school might be needed, but now the district will have the land in place, should it be needed,” said Doug Baker, public-information officer for the district.
On Dec. 14, the school board voted 5-0 to approve the purchase for $750,000, plus yet-to-be-finalized closing costs, Baker said.
