As our mission states, our faculty, staff, administration, and students are relentless in our pursuit of personal and academic excellence. Ultimately, that pursuit will set our students up for success in whatever path they choose. 

With the generous donation of Fairborn graduate, Richard Helms, the Fairborn City School District purchased land on Commerce Center Blvd. to build a new high school with state-of-the-art academic, performing arts, and athletic facilities. The Fairborn community supported the passage of multiple bond issues to construct new educational facilities PreK-12 for the community. The new Fairborn Middle School will finalize the project and open in the Fall of 2027. These facilities are the best in the Miami Valley and support the educational aspirations and dreams for our students. We are grateful for the support of our community!
