New Philadelphia City School District

What is a mill and how does it affect school funding?

A mill is a unit used to calculate property tax. One mill generates one dollar for every one thousand dollars of assessed property value. In Ohio, assessed value is 35 percent of your home’s market value. If a home is worth 100,000 dollars its assessed value is 35,000 dollars and one mill would generate 35 dollars in tax.

Understanding millage is key to understanding how local funding impacts both household budgets and school budgets.

Join us for Electronics Recycling Day 2026 on Saturday, June 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at New Philadelphia High School.

Bring your old electronics - from computers and phones to TVs and gaming systems and safely recycle them. On-site hard drive shredding will also be available for added peace of mind.

Let’s work together to keep our community clean and green! 🌎

🎭✨ Throwback Thursday to when Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Arbogast took the Welty Middle School Select Choir to Playhouse Square for a special backstage tour experience!

Students had a wonderful time exploring the theaters, learning what happens behind the scenes, and even standing on the stages of some of their favorite shows. What an unforgettable opportunity for these talented students! 👏

🐾📚 Before summer break, West students from Mrs. Evans’, Mrs. VanArsdalen’s, and Mrs. Woofter’s classes visited the Humane Society for a heartwarming adventure!

Students had the opportunity to snuggle with some precious animals while reading to them, creating a special experience filled with kindness, compassion, and lots of smiles. What an amazing day for our students and their furry friends!

Did you know? Every two years, the state of Ohio passes a new budget that outlines how public dollars will be spent, including funding for schools like New Philadelphia. Lawmakers in Columbus debate priorities during the spring of each odd-numbered year and must finalize the budget by June 30 before the new fiscal year begins on July 1.

These decisions directly impact the resources available to our district and can affect everything from staffing to academic programs.

⚾🎉 Our seventh-grade students enjoyed an exciting field trip to an Akron RubberDucks game as an end-of-year reward for maintaining stellar behavior throughout the entire school year!

Students had a great time enjoying bouncy houses, outdoor games, and even received a Chick-fil-A coupon for a free sandwich. What a fun way to celebrate a fantastic year of positive choices and hard work! 👏☀️

🚣‍♂️💦 Before summer break began, our AP Physics and College Prep (CP) Physics students put their engineering skills to the test during the Maiden Voyage Cardboard Boats event at the Tuscora Park Pool on Wednesday, May 20!

Students designed and launched their own cardboard boats, testing buoyancy, teamwork, creativity, and courage out on the water. Some boats sailed smoothly… while others became one with the pool a little sooner than planned. 😂

To make things even more exciting, Mr. McClelland’s class joined in by “bombing” the boats with water balloons during their voyage! We are so proud of the problem-solving, innovation, and fun our students brought to this hands-on learning experience. 🌊👏
