Family Update

The Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools Central Office and Maintenance buildings will be moved to new locations this summer to create more parking space on the high school site.

Our Central Office will be in a portion of the second floor of the office building at 630 Morrison Road as a result of a three-year lease that the District has entered into. You can learn more about the move and what it means for the current site on our website.

Important Dates:

May 28 Last Day for Central Office at Current Location

May 29-30 Central Office Closed for Move to New Location

May 31 Central Office Opens at New Location
