Welcome to the Sebring Local Schools where we open the door to each child's future.

We are a growing K-12 school district serving an estimated 4,300 residents.  Our schools, B.L. Miller Elementary and McKinley Jr./Sr. High, serve approximately 550 students.

In Sebring Local Schools, we are much more than a grade on a state report card. Sebring's faculty members are dedicated workers, who strive to provide the best academic experience for your child. Our schools have hidden treasures for multiple reasons.  We have small class sizes. That means our students are offered more personalized class instruction. All-day kindergarten is offered at no charge to the families. Sebring Local Schools are also ahead of the curve. We were one of the first districts in the area to offer a 1:1 ratio with technology. Also, our online courses at the high school offer students opportunities they cannot find in other local districts.  In addition, several of our elective courses have only a handful of students in the class. These small class sizes enable our students to grasp the content and gain a deeper understanding of the material being taught. Eligible students may participate in our early college program. Through this program, students are afforded the opportunity to earn up to 42 college credit hours while attending McKinley High School, which can make a big difference in a student’s future. Plus, all students receive free breakfast and lunch during the school year.

Our long history of strong academic success is directly connected to a dedicated and talented staff, innovative school leadership, a devoted board of education, active and strong parental involvement, and a supportive and generous community. As an award-winning school district with a long tradition of excellence in education, we value a system of continuous improvement that permeates every aspect of its work in order to become a center of educational excellence. We are committed to providing a challenging curriculum, skilled instruction, and a learning environment that responds to individual student academic needs. Our efforts are guided by research and the belief that every student is capable of attaining high levels of educational achievement in preparation for meeting the rigorous demands of the twenty-first century.

Our work together requires teamwork, collaboration and shared leadership toward a common mission, vision, values and goals. Sebring teachers are lifelong learners and continually seek out and attend professional development. This training helps them learns skills that are utilized in their teaching practices. The teaching staff is trained in Illuminate, a data assessment tool, which is used to assist in customizing educational outcomes for their students. The staff works as a team to do what is best for students. Our district leadership plan focuses on empowering all students to excel in a global society. Our innovative approach to teaching and learning develops student empowerment, accountability and responsibility.
