Inside The Star
What makes Sylvania Schools work? What happens Inside the Star? Welcome to Inside the Star, the official podcast of Sylvania Schools. The Star has long been a symbol of our district.

Through meaningful conversations, we'll be highlighting staff members, students, families and community partners who make a difference in the lives of our children. Each episode will provide a behind the scenes look at their roles, experiences, passions and the impact they have on student success. Our goal is simple to strengthen connections, increase understanding and celebrate the many voices that make up Sylvania Schools. Whether you're a parent, student, staff member, alumni or community supporter, we're glad you're here and grateful to have you as part of our story.
