    Milford High School closes until November 16

    News up-date from the Milford School District

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL FAMILIES!

    Beginning tomorrow, Friday, November 6, Milford High School will move to a remote model.

    Students will return to the building Monday, November 16.

    This means students will learn from home and will follow their school schedule at home.

    Staff will be working in the building and providing live virtual instruction to students.

    Athletics, fine arts, and extracurriculars are cancelled November 6 through November 15.

    We are making this change to remote learning for the high school due to the large number of staff out on quarantine or absent due to illness. We are unable to find enough substitutes to cover for teacher absences. We also have a large number of students in quarantine.

    We are NOT moving the entire district to Plan B (remote learning) because we are only seeing an upward movement of cases combined with staff coverage issues at the High School and at Meadowview Elementary at this time. (Yesterday we cancelled classes for the third and fourth grade at Meadowview Elementary until November 16 out of an abundance of caution because there were students and staff in those grade levels who tested positive for COVID-19.)

    We examine the data each and every day to make the best decisions for our students and staff. Our goal is to keep students learning in person in school safely for as long as possible.

    The Milford Class of 1979 is paying tribute to the loss of 4 National Guardsmen

    Miami Township, Ohio – As part of their 40th class reunion, the Milford Class of 1979 is paying tribute to the loss of four National Guardsmen whose helicopter crashed in the community on September 29th, 1979. They are providing a memorial for these men in the peaceful setting of Paxton Ramsey Park, just less than a mile from the crash site.

    The National Guardsmen who died are Capt. James Capps, S/Sgt Alan Piatt, S/Sgt Wayman Nixon, and Capt. Paul Edgar. The class has located and is in communication with family members of all four soldiers.

    The reunion will include the placing of a large memorial boulder with an engraved plaque honoring all four National Guardsman, four park benches with each soldier’s name on a bronze plaque, and a military ceremony.

    The public is invited and encouraged to attend the memorial dedication ceremony at noon on September 29th. This date and time mark the 40th anniversary of the accident.

    The class will gather at Paxton Ramsey Park with the Miami Township Trustees, Civil Air Patrol, Local American Legion and VFW, and the families of the fallen guardsmen

    The public is encouraged to attend the ceremony in a show of support of these fallen heroes. To find out more information or to donate to the memorial project, please visit Memorial.Milford79.com or donate online at Milford79.com/Donate.

We also want you to help honor these soldiers with your presence at the ceremony at Paxton Ramsey Park on September 29, 2019, at noon. Please bring your family and encourage others to join us as we celebrate the sacrifice of these four National Guardsmen.

    Please help us make sure that these names will never be forgotten again as we ask you for support in our Class Project.

  • Branch Hill-Guinea Pike – Bridle Path Lane – Jer-Les Drive – Cook Road – Weber Road construction set to begin

    Branch Hill-Guinea Pike – Bridle Path Lane – Jer-Les Drive – Cook Road – Weber Road construction set to begin

    Detours will be put into place for through traffic

    Batavia, Ohio – The Clermont County Engineer’s Office today announced “safety and access improvements” that will take place along Branch Hill-Guinea Pike from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive, as well as the related traffic impacts during the course of the project.

    The Branch Hill-Guinea Pike widening project will add a center turn lane and paved shoulders on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike, as well as a sidewalk along the east side of the road from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive. Drainage improvements also will be made. In addition to the roadway work, improvements will be made at the intersection of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Cook Road/Weber Road, including upgraded traffic signals and designated turn lanes.

    The project will be completed in three phases:

    • Phase 1 is expected to last approximately five weeks, from June 4 through July 9. During Phase 1, work will take place on the northern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Cook Road.
    • Phase 2 is expected to last approximately five weeks, from July 9 through Aug. 15. During Phase 2, work will take place on the southern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Weber Road.

    During both phases, a detour will be put into place for through traffic. Access within the project area will be maintained for local property owners only.

    • Phase 3 of work will take place from Aug. 15 through the fall but will not result in full-time road closures. All roads will be reopened to through traffic with only minor temporary closures taking place as crews complete the final pieces of the project.

    Clermont County Engineer Pat Manger said that the work on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike has multiple components that will improve safety and travel in the area. “A new center turn lane will support smoother travel and help to reduce potential accidents by separating turning traffic from through traffic,” said Manger. “The addition of a new sidewalk will provide safer pedestrian access in the area, and drainage improvements will enhance stormwater management along the road and in the surrounding subdivisions.”

    Miami Township Administrator Jeff Wright highlighted the project team that is working together to support the improvements saying, “The Branch Hill-Guinea Pike widening project is being completed in partnership with Miami Township, Milford Schools and the Clermont County Transportation Improvement District to improve access to Boyd E. Smith Elementary School and support safer travel along Branch Hill-Guinea Pike. The safety of our local students and their families is one of our highest priorities, and the township is pleased to work with the school district and the county to ensure we continue to provide better connections and service to our residents.”
