“The Raider Way is a top priority in our district, which means we have an incredibly dedicated staff who nurture high performance rates from our students. Furthermore, we have a community that models ‘The Raider Way’ with generous contributions to our district and strong support of our students both in the classroom, and at home. We are thankful to be nationally recognized and will continue our work at South Range Local Schools,” said South Range Superintendent Dr. Jarred Zapolnik.
