Greenon Local School District is a school district in Clark County, Ohio, United States. Formerly known as "Mad River-Green Local School District", the name reflected the cooperation between Mad River and Green Townships in not just education but also police, fire, and emergency services. The current name reflects the name of Green Township and the village of Enon, which is the "seat" of Mad River Township. The name was changed to distinguish this school district from Mad River Local Schools in Montgomery County, Ohio. The school district formerly operated Enon Elementary, Indian Valley Middle School, and Greenon High School. The district has since moved to a single K-12 building on the former site of the middle school. The main office is located in Enon, Ohio, at the former elementary school.
In August 2014, Greenon High School has switched to a Jr./Sr. High School, now containing grades 7–12. Enon Elementary has switched to Pre-school to 1st grade and 2nd-6th grade to Indian Valley.
In May 16, 2016, The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said a bomb threat scribbled on a bathroom wall last week claimed there were two bombs inside Greenon High School. A comprehensive search of the building turned up no devices or explosives. There were not bombs found in campus. Greenon High School students were released early for the day.
In May 2017, a levy was passed that allows a new school to be constructed on the site of the current middle school, Indian Valley. The new school is planned to contain k-12. The current high school building will be torn down but the sports facilities will remain.

In October 5, 2023, Greenon administrator left a voicemail to parents that there was a potential threat made from a Springfield-Clark CTC student that made overnight. The threat was deemed not credible. One of the Greenon administrators and the school resource officer have cooperated with the student and not disciplined due to being a career tech student.
