🏦 Galion Hall of Fame | Donald F. Barr
GHS Class of 1968
Donald “Don” F. Barr has dedicated nearly 50 years to serving his hometown and leading GBL Bank with integrity, vision, and a strong commitment to community.
Don began his career with GBL in 1976 and today serves as President, Director, and CEO. Under his leadership, the bank has experienced tremendous growth while maintaining strong ties to the Galion community.
A proud Galion Tiger, Don has been a longtime supporter of Galion City Schools. In 1992, he helped establish what is now Calculator Day, providing every sixth grader with a new calculator for more than three decades. GBL has also supported the schools through athletics, yearbooks, financial literacy opportunities, and the Tiger Debit Card, which gives back to Galion City Schools.
Beyond GBL, Don has served his community through organizations including Avita Health System, the Galion Community Improvement Corporation, Kiwanis, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. He and his wife, Ginny, also helped revitalize downtown Galion by restoring a vacant building and operating The Gathering Place.
Don’s career and community involvement reflect a lifelong commitment to the people and hometown that have always meant so much to him.

🐯 Behind the Blend | A Monday at Galion Middle School
Mondays may look a little different at Galion, but our campuses are still busy places! Today, we popped into Galion Middle School to see some of the learning happening behind the scenes.

📚 Monday may look different—but learning continues.
Stay tuned as we take you Behind the Blend and share a little more of what Mondays look like across Galion City Schools! 🐯💙🧡
