Dr. Kathryn Lorenz, long-time member of the Loveland Board of Education and currently serving as board vice president, was recognized as a nominee to the All Ohio School Board. Dr. Lorenz received the Al Kettlewell Award for her outstanding boardmanship.
Ms. Bre Sambuchino, teacher at Loveland High School, was honored as one of four finalists for 2019 Ohio Teacher of the Year by the Ohio Department of Education.
Loveland’s Robotics program was also recognized at the event and coined one of the top three “Outstanding Ongoing Programs” in the Southwest Region. The district’s “Digital Microscopes Enhance Curiosity” and “Innovation Lab” programs were honored for being selected to
