Education

Phillipsburg is served by the Northmont City School District of Montgomery County, Ohio. The schools include:

• Northmont High School
• Northmont Middle School
• Englewood Elementary
• Englewood Hills Elementary
• Northmoor Elementary
• Northwood Elementary
• O. R. Edgington Elementary
• Union Elementary

As a cost-savings measure, the Northmont City Schools Board of Education voted unanimously on January 26, 2009, to close the Phillipsburg Elementary building and merge it with Union Elementary at the end of the 2008-2009 school year.^[8]

The school board had hoped to sell the building for $1 to an entity of local government. After learning that the village of Phillipsburg, Clay Township, and Montgomery County were not interested, the district intends to auction the building and remaining contents at a future date.^[9]

In November 2009, an auction was held by Jon W. Carr for the Northmont Board of Education to liquidate all of the schools assets and property. The school was sold to Gathering Grace Center, LLC.^[10] On November 16, 2012, the building was again sold to a Christopher Esterline at a cost of $65,000.^[11]
