Summary
Garfield Middle School and the Hamilton City Schools Board marked a floor dedication and ribbon‑cutting for the late Coach Tim Reed, noting his 32 years of service and an ongoing Coach Tim Reed Legacy Fund that has provided more than 35 scholarships since 2019.
Garfield Middle School principal Josh Marjoram introduced a community floor dedication honoring Coach Tim Reed and described Reed’s influence as a coach, teacher and family man. "Dad spent 32 years teaching, and his efforts have made a lasting impact on many lives," Jimmy Reid, Coach Reed’s son, told attendees.
Speakers recounted Reed’s focus on character and community service and described a scholarship legacy in his name. Jimmy Reid said the Coach Tim Reed Legacy Fund has provided "over 35 scholarships to college bound seniors from Tallawanda High School and Hamilton High School" since 2019. The ceremony included a ribbon‑cutting and remarks from family members and a city council member who joined the celebration.
Why it matters: the dedication recognizes a long-serving educator and coach and formalizes a local scholarship fund and a memorial floor that leaders hope will inspire future students. The board and event organizers thanked staff, volunteers and custodians who worked on the project and invited attendees to a reception following the ceremony.
