A Leader with Sidney Roots
Greg Snyder, most recently serving as Director of Operations and Federal Programs for Sidney City Schools, has dedicated his entire professional career to the district.
After graduating from Fort Recovery High School in 2003, he earned his undergraduate degree from Ohio Northern University. His first-ever job interview was with Sidney City Schools, where he immediately connected with the district and community.
Snyder began as a high school math teacher at Sidney High School (SHS), where he also led the digital media productions program. Over 12 years in the classroom, he took on additional leadership roles before transitioning into administration. He served as an assistant principal for two years and then as principal for three years at SHS before assuming his current district-level position.
Throughout his career, Snyder continued to advance his education, earning a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Ohio Dominican University and a Superintendent License from Youngstown State University.
Beyond his work within the school district, Snyder has been an active leader in the Sidney community. He has served on various boards and committees, including the Shelby County United Way Board and the Workforce Partnership Board. His commitment to the district extends beyond academics—he has coached multiple sports teams and led several extracurricular activities.
Snyder credits his family for their unwavering support, particularly his parents, Ed and Laura, and his wife, Megan, a forensic chemist. The couple resides in Sidney with their four children—Ben, Abby, Lexi, and Devin—who all attend Sidney City Schools.
Superintendent's Message
The Season of Thanks!
As we head into this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to say how truly thankful I am for everyone who supports Sidney City Schools—our families, staff, students, and the many community partners who pour so much into our district. Your commitment is felt every single day, and it’s what keeps our schools moving forward.
I also want to express how proud I am of our Veterans Day celebrations across the district. Our students honored local veterans with such sincerity, and it was powerful to see our schools come together in gratitude. To all our veterans—you have our deepest thanks for your service and sacrifice.
Finally, congratulations to the outstanding junior and senior students inducted into the National Honor Society. This accomplishment reflects not only academic excellence, but character, service, and leadership—qualities we are proud to see shining in our Yellow Jackets.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we make Sidney City Schools a place where students thrive.

Our school year is off to such a great start!
Thank you for everything you do to support Sidney City Schools. We are incredibly proud of our students—both inside and outside the classroom.
The state report card was recently released, and I’m so proud of the gains we’ve made in several areas. A special shoutout goes to everyone across the district and community who has supported our efforts to improve attendance—those improvements are reflected in our results. While there’s always room to grow, I’m deeply grateful for all you do to make Sidney City Schools such a wonderful place to learn and work.
On a sad note, our district recently lost a wonderful person and administrator, Mr. Keith Helmlinger. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the Helmlinger family and thank them for sharing Keith with us. Sidney City Schools is a better place because of his dedication to kids and his care for our school community.
Our October newsletter highlights the many great things happening in our schools and across the district. The next couple of months promise to be full of learning, exciting performances, and memorable experiences for our students as we head toward winter break.
As always—Go Jackets!

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We are excited to launch our new digital newsletter, which allows us to connect with the community in a fresh and efficient way. Through this platform, we can share more photos, videos, and links than ever before, giving you a richer look at the great things happening in our schools.
As we kick off the year, I want to highlight the goals of our district. Together with our students, staff, families, and community partners, we are focused on improving:
- English Language Arts scores
- Math scores
- Attendance rates
- Graduation rate
To reach these goals, the district is working hard to implement updated curricula, refine processes, and strengthen community partnerships that will move Sidney City Schools forward.
Alongside the digital newsletter, we are excited to introduce the Sidney City Schools Alumni Association and Friends of Sidney City Schools. This initiative is designed to connect with alumni and friends through newsletters, podcasts, and other opportunities to celebrate the amazing people connected to our district. This year, our goal is to begin building a database of alumni and friends — a way to see what you’re up to and how we can keep in touch. If you’d like to participate, please take a moment to fill out this short Google form to share your information. Watch for future opportunities and communications from the district!
We are incredibly proud of our alumni and our current students — whether they are learning in the classroom, performing on the stage, competing on the field, or serving the community. Thank you for supporting Sidney City Schools and helping us continue to make this district a place of excellence and pride.
Go Jackets!

Hello Yellow Jackets!
It’s such an honor to have been named superintendent of a district that my family and I have the privilege of calling home. Last year was a fantastic school year and we are ramping up for another great year.
Great things are happening all across the district. Academically, our schools are all making gains, and we are so proud of all the opportunities we can offer our students, including CCP options and career technical education options in conjunction with UVCC and the Workforce Partnership.
Our music programs are thriving at every level. Middle school choir and band numbers are at their highest levels recently, and our high school programs are performing at an elite level. The musical’s performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an amazing display of the talent we have in Sidney City Schools.
Athletically, our high school teams won 10 MVL Divisional Championships last year, and a special congratulations goes out to Garrett Guinther for winning the state championship and setting a state record in Pole Vault and to Luke Carter for going to state in Shot Put.
We can’t wait for another year full of elementary field trips, art projects, middle school incentives, club activities, spirit weeks, dances, and so much more. We value every one of our students, their families, and the community. Please stay connected and follow us on social media, and look for new things like our alumni association, podcasts, and digital newsletters.
Thanks to each stakeholder for all you do to make Sidney City Schools a great place to be, and as always - Go Jackets!

Mr. Humble reflects on the 2023-2024 school year, noting the success of SMS and Emerson Primary schools as they earned special awards.
Hello Yellow Jackets!
It’s hard to believe we are almost done with the school year!
In our May 2024 Jacket Journal, we celebrated a number of student and school accomplishments!
Great things are happening at SMS–the Builders Club is putting their club motto into action as they enhance leadership capabilities through their service projects.
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate awards earned by SMS and Emerson Primary. SMS received the Momentum Award from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce, and Emerson was named a Hall of Fame School by the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators. Both exemplify the great things happening throughout Sidney City Schools.
A thought to leave you with: When schools and families work together toward their common goal of helping all children to be successful, it is much more likely to happen. We appreciate your ongoing support of our teachers, staff, schools, and district.
In Jacket Pride,
Bob Humble, Superintendent
Mr. Bob Humble reflects on the 2022-2023 school year in his July 2023 Superintendent's Message.
Hello Yellow Jackets!
We’re officially in summer mode! As I reflect, I can see this past school year was a good one.
Our state-qualifying athletes gave us a great reason to celebrate our Jacket Pride of individuals Josie Davis (wrestling), Keaton Fischer (bowling), Garrett Guinther (track), and Jarrett Payne (swimming). We saw outstanding academic achievement in Tatum Werntz being named one of 18 state winners of the American Legion Americanism & Government Test, which took her on an amazing trip to Washington, D.C. Our academia team took back the Shelby County title again. We saw outstanding achievement by students competing in Business Professionals of America. BPA members who placed in State: Brooklyn Koester, Grace Work-Steenrod, Ivan Spencer, and Parker Slaven. BPA members who placed in State and qualified for Nationals: Thomas Sibert, Ethan Weldy, Joshua Wise, and Danny Orr. Gilbert Quiantance qualified for nationals only.
Our music department saw its success in a very large musical that included students as young as 3rd grade! The concerts both in the winter and spring were some of the best I have heard, and the contest results in all areas were positive.
An expansion of Key Club into middle school with the addition of Builder’s Club allowed more students to serve in our community. These are just a few of the outstanding things that happened this school year.
Our administrative team and teachers will spend the summer preparing to make the 2023-2024 school year even better. Thank you to our families for their continued support.
Be sure to check out our Back-to-School Hub to get ready for the upcoming school year!
In Jacket Pride,
