Sycamore High School opens after renovations

Phase II construction began this summer and will continue through the school year without interfering with classes. Phase II will add an auditorium and gymnasium.
Clear or mesh bags only
STONELICK TOWNSHIP — Clear plastic or mesh book bags will be the only type of carry-alls students may bring into buildings this school year at Clermont Northeastern middle and high schools.
The rule was adopted this summer by the principals for safety reasons, said Superintendent Charles Shreve.
2 administrators leaving
MONTGOMERY — Two longtime administrators are leaving Sycamore Community School District.
Bill Sears, assistant superintendent for six years, begins this week as superintendent of Lebanon City School District. Mr. Sears has been a teacher and administrator with Sycamore for 29 years.
Lynn Kitchen, principal at Sycamore High School, will oversee the opening of the 1999-2000 school year before leaving the district Oct. 1 to be director of personnel with Wyoming City School District. Ms. Kitchen has been with Sycamore for 16 years.
Groups to be explained
MONTGOMERY — Sycamore educators will meet at 7 p.m. Aug. 17 with parents who have questions about changes in how student ability groupings are determined.
Ability groupings are difficulty levels for each subject in junior high and high school: basic, college preparatory, honors and Advanced Placement.
The district is changing groupings this school year, including encouraging eighth-graders to pass algebra before taking ninth-grade honors biology.
The meeting will be at E.H. Greene Intermediate School, 5200 Aldine Drive.
Teacher honored again
Cincinnati Public Schools' Sharon Draper — named National Teacher of the Year in 1997 — received another award this week.
