St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools

A place for everyone.

Welcome to St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools, home of the Titans! The public school system in St. Bernard can be traced all the way back to 1869, when school district No. 4 was established. In those days, classes were held in private rooms in the neighborhoods of Carthage Pike and Ross Avenue. The first school building was also built on Ross Avenue. It was small, containing only four rooms. This building expanded in 1888, and the village of St. Bernard experienced its own growth at the time. It was this growth that caused the first Tower Avenue building to be established in 1900. In 1968, St. Bernard merged with Elmwood Place, giving St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools the name it carries today. 

Here at SBEP, we honor our storied legacy by continuing to provide a safe and fun environment for our students. We aim to deliver high-quality education to each and every child that walks through our doors. Whether they are interested in playing sports or pursuing the creative arts, our school provides students with an opportunity to pursue their goals. Thank you for visiting our website, and thank you to everyone who has supported our district over the years. If you have questions or would like to request more information, please contact your building administrator.

  • The St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City School District seeks to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with handicaps birth through age 21 based upon I.D.E.A. (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) eligibility. This includes children attending private or parochial schools whose parents reside within our district.

    Conditions such as multi-handicapped, hearing handicapped, visually handicapped, orthopedically and/or health handicapped, severe behavior handicapped, developmentally handicapped, specific learning disabled, autistic and speech and language handicapped are included.

    Additionally, it is the intent of the district to ensure that students who are handicapped within the definition of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are evaluated, identified, and served. Section 504 disabilities are mental or physical impairments, or a history of such impairments, that “substantially limit one or more major life activities.”

    If you know of a child with a suspected handicap, please contact Dr. Mimi Webb, Superintendent at St. Bernard-Elmwood Place Schools, 105 Washington Avenue, St. Bernard, Ohio 45217, 513-482-7123.

    In accordance with the Ohio State Plan for The Education of Ohio’s Homeless Children and Youth and the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (P.L. 100-77), as amended in 1990, homeless school-age children shall have access to a free, appropriate public education which would be provided to the children of a resident of Ohio, consistent with Ohio’s school attendance laws. If you are aware of or suspect that a homeless child is eligible for placement under this policy, please contact Dr. Mimi Webb at 513-482-7123.

The SBEP Difference

Momentum

SBEP is always looking to improve. The Jr./Sr. High School raised its Ohio Report Card score to 3.5 stars, securing a momentum award from the state in 2026. The momentum award is for districts and buildings that have improved their performance index by three or more points from 2023-2024 report card to the 2024-2025 report card and received a value-added progress rating of 4 or more stars. Our preschool has also received a Gold rating from Ohio's Step Up To Quality program.

New Facilities

Our new school building comes equipped with features such as a natatorium, multiple gyms, and STEM labs. We are constantly looking for ways to provide students with new and exciting technology like VR headsets and 3D printers.

Preparing Students for the Future

SBEP's Jr./Sr. High School sports a 97% graduation rate. Our school counselors work directly with students to help them determine their best path forward upon graduating. Numerous local organizations contribute to college scholarships, and students have the opportunity to visit local businesses and universities throughout their junior and senior years.
