Great news for you and your students! All enrolled students of Joseph Badger School District, regardless of household income, can now receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge each day of the 2024-2025 school year. This is done through the National School Lunch Program. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) only need to get in the lunch or breakfast line.

We will continue to provide the same great lunches and breakfasts our students are accustomed to and we are proud to offer this valuable benefit to our families. Again this will not cost families anything nor require any application to have this incredible service for our students.

We would like to invite everyone to our Open House. It will be Thursday August 15th beginning at 5:00 pm and ending at 6:00 pm. Our cafeteria will provide a snack for everyone. You can pick up your schedule, see your locker and stop and say hello to our teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, secretaries, principals and the rest of the staff. We look forward to seeing you!

The Joseph Badger Local School District will provide academic excellence to all students through an effective and challenging learning environment that encourages students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. The new Joseph Badger School opened September 5, 2006 with the first day of classes for students. Badger Elementary, Middle and High School form a 175,000 square foot state of the art K-12 facility that services the largest geographical school district in Trumbull County. Students attending the Joseph Badger School, named after a circuit riding minister, Reverend Joseph Badger reside in Gustavus, Hartford, Kinsman, Orangeville or Vernon Township.

There is also a small population of open enrollment students attending from neighboring school districts. Joseph Badger offers a diversified curriculum including Kindergarten/Enrichment and college preparatory courses which include five high school advanced placement (AP) classes. Badger Middle School is one of the select schools in Ohio to offer three grade eight classes earning high school credit; French, Algebra and Intro to Physics and Chemistry.  Joseph Badger offers a comprehensive co-curricular program coinciding with academic offerings and an interscholastic sports program which personifies team play, opponent respect and continued sportsmanship in all contests.
