Superintendent's Welcome Letter

Dear Braves Family,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year.  It is with immense pride and heartfelt gratitude that I am pleased to join you as superintendent for Indian Valley Local Schools.  Stepping into this role here feels like coming home—because it is. As a proud graduate of this district with deep family roots in our community, I know firsthand the passion, pride, and dedication that make this place so special. Reconnecting with long-time friends and getting to know our new families is a true privilege and honor.

Indian Valley stands tall as a high-performing leader in both academics and athletics not only in Tuscarawas County, but across the entire state.  Our students receive a quality education in top-notch facilities and from dedicated staff.  We are fortunate to offer robust curricular, extra-curricular,  and athletic opportunities that empower our students to explore their potential and succeed. Whether a student’s path leads directly to college, into the workforce, or into the military, our goal is to ensure every graduate leaves equipped to be a confident, contributing member of society.

As we step into this school year together, our work will be guided by two core commitments:

• Our Educational Mission: "Working together to personalize a rigorous standards-based learning experience."
• Our Operations Mission: "Quality service with kindness to everyone, every day."

Together, these missions ensure that we not only challenge and support our students to reach their highest potential, but that we also cultivate a respectful and welcoming environment for our entire community.

Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your unwavering support of our schools. I am thrilled to work alongside you all to make this an extraordinary year.

Go Braves!

Amy D. Wentworth, Superintendent
Indian Valley Local Schools
