    Come Out to Support the LHS Athletes at the Annual Athletic Boosters Golf Scramble!

    by Cassie Mattia

    Loveland, Ohio – The LHS Athletics community has come together in light of the “Pay-To-Play” announcement to support the Tiger student-athletes that now have to pay $310 per sport. The Loveland Athletic Boosters, a non-profit organization composed of adult volunteers, have been and continue to be one of the biggest advocates for the LHS student-athletes as they are consistently coming up with ways to generate income for the LHS Athletic Department. Money is raised typically by running concessions, fundraising, and Booster Membership fees.

    Recently, the Loveland Athletic Boosters created a Facebook group that is focused on raising money for the pay-to-play fees for LHS student-athletes. Click the article link below to learn about the Loveland Athletic Boosters Facebook group and how you can “Adopt-A-Tiger!”

    Published in the Loveland High School Roar Newspaper in October 2013.

    The always impeccably dressed in a dress shirt, jacket, and tie, Mr. Schmidt was affectionately called, Chuck and Schmidty. He was a former administrator, coach, and teacher in the Loveland School District for 40-years. The Tiger gym at Loveland High School is named in his honor. He was an Assistant Principal, Interim Principal, and after his retirement in 1988 returned as a substitute teacher. He taught English and physical education. He once was the head varsity basketball coach at Lockland High School.

    For many years he could be seen at the end of the varsity bench for Loveland basketball teaching his basketball knowledge and his famous “6 Schmidt Rules.” He was also a regular at Loveland football games helping at the admissions gate and with the parking flow, a good-will ambassador showing hospitality to regulars and visiting fans.

    After his retirement, teachers and staff at Loveland High School created the Chuck Schmidt Staff Scholarship. In 2014, funds were raised through a “Tacky” Sweater Contest, Hawaiian Shirt Day, and Friday Jeans Day for Staff that awarded eight $500 textbook scholarships to graduating Seniors that year.

    Memorials to Mr. Schmidt are requested to go to the Loveland High School Chuck Schmidt Staff Scholarship, 1 Tiger Trail, Loveland, OH 45140.

    Mr. Schmidt was inducted into the Loveland High School Athletic Hall of Fame class of 2008.
