Superintendent Message

Bearcat Community,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! As Superintendent of the Paint Valley Local School District, it is my privilege to welcome our students, staff, families and community members back for another exciting year of learning, growth and achievement. 

Paint Valley is more than just a school district--we are the heart of the Bainbridge community. The strength of our district comes from the deep roots and unwavering support of our community, multi-generational families and our dedicated staff. Together we celebrate rural education excellence while maintaining competitive, high-quality academic and extracurricular programs that prepare our students for success anywhere. 

Open communication and strong partnerships between home, school and community are essential to student success. I invite you to stay connected throughout the year by visiting our website at paintvalleylocalschools.org or the Paint Valley Local Schools Facebook page.  My door is always open and I am always open to listening to new ideas

GO BEARCATS!!!

Sincerely,

 Tim Winland
