KETTERING CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Letter of Transmittal
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012
Moraine took its name from the pre-historic glacier, which deposited vast amounts of sand and gravel
over the terrain. Because of concern over police and fire departments services, the west Moraine section
voted to become a separate township in 1953. They became a village in 1957 and a city in 1965.
Throughout this period, Moraine has retained its ties to the Kettering City School District.
The Kettering City School District currently has a population of about 62,470 and covers 21.3 square

middle schools and one high school during the 2011-12 school year. Other facilities operated by the
