South Range breaks ground for new school

NORTH LIMA – It was an emotional day for Nicole Rothbauer as she watched part of her past being dug up.

But the 1987 South Range High School alumnus said she is keeping an eye on the future and that Saturday’s groundbreaking for a new kindergarten-through-12th-grade school represented a new chapter for the district.

School board president John Fromel told a crowd of more than 100 that memories and legacies of the past will follow when the district moves onto a centralized campus in fall 2010.

“Today we take another big step,” Fromel told the crowd. He addressed students who attended, saying the new school will best prepare them for challenges they’ll face in the future.
