Bericht van Hoofdinspecteur
Welcome to the Lima City Schools! I am so excited and grateful to begin my work here as superintendent of this wonderful school district.
We enter this school year with renewed purpose and bold vision. Our district’s mission remains clear: to educate, empower, and inspire every child, every day. We vow to create a climate in which every student learns.
As I made my decision to accept the position of Superintendent, one thing stood out -- the Spartan Pride. This is Spartan territory, that is for sure, and I am excited to be a part of it.
We have much to be proud of at the Lima City Schools, starting with our amazing staff, diverse student population and families that I know only want the best for their children. Together, we can give our students our very best and prepare them for bright futures.

We offer a comprehensive high school with many options for students: dual enrollment classes to earn college credits, career technical education, an array of music and art opportunities and much more.
Along with our neighborhood elementary schools and two middle schools, the district has two kindergarten through eighth-grade magnet programs; one for the arts and the other for science and technology.
We are a school district of opportunities, both in our academic and extracurricular offerings. We are a place where every student can find his or her passion, with a dedicated staff to help every child along the way.
A bit about myself – I come to the Lima City Schools from Reynoldsburg City Schools, where I was an assistant superintendent. I grew up in the Cleveland area and have also worked for Cleveland Metropolitan, Warrensville Heights and Euclid school districts.
My significant other and two school-aged daughters (and another on the way soon) are excited to be in Lima and to get to know this school district and community. I can’t wait for my daughters to experience everything the Lima city Schools and their new community have to offer.
I am honored to serve this community and look forward to meeting students, staff, families and community members, as we partner together to support our students and work to make the Lima City Schools the best district in Ohio.
If you have questions about our district, please feel free to contact me at arudolph@limacityschools.org, or 419-996-3411.
Here’s to another great year at Lima City Schools; let’s all do our best, and Go Spartans!
Sincerely,
Andre Rudolph, Superintendent
