About us

John Ciesla

Greenwood School District is proud to uphold the mission of “Providing Excellence in Education.” This commitment is reflected in the high expectations we set for both academics and extracurricular activities. Our community plays a vital role in supporting our schools—investing in top-tier facilities, a wide range of programs, and the ability to recruit and retain outstanding educators. What truly sets Greenwood apart is the strong partnership between our schools, families, and the community. Together, we’re preparing students to succeed beyond the classroom—whether that’s in college, careers, or contributing as productive members of society.
