Pickaway County ESC

Our Mission is to be the educational leader in providing high quality services to schools and families in Pickaway County, and to facilitate the collaboration of quality services among the county agencies that serve children.

Formed on June 13, 1914, the Pickaway County Educational Service Center, formerly the Pickaway County Board of Education, has been making a difference in Pickaway County’s schools for over 95 years.

ESCs were established through an act of the Ohio General Assembly. The law created 88 “County School Districts” and charged them with the task of “elevating the state’s system of education to a proper standard.” This effort entailed county office staff members drafting courses of study for school systems, providing in-service training for teachers and assuring quality classroom instruction through supervision and evaluation.
