Schools as Hubs
Lutheran Social Services of NW Ohio is pleased to announce that we have been selected as a Lead Partner Organization in the Schools as Hubs partnership with Scott High School, Greater Toledo United Way and Toledo Public Schools. LSS will recruit and hire a Hub Director who will coordinate the Schools as Hubs initiative at Scott High School. The Hub Director will work with LSS and all other partners to organize resources in the community around student success. The initiative is intended to make Scott High School a place that becomes a natural anchor for students and their families, as the center of the neighborhood. Its integrated focus on academics, services, supports and opportunities will result in improved student learning, stronger families and a healthier neighborhood.
