Granville board honors student artists, athletes and longtime arts booster
Summary
The board recognized Scarlett Waltz for winning the River Roundup poster contest (Granville High School and a $500 scholarship to the school), honored Blue Aces track state placings and presented a commendation to arts booster president Andy Wildman for eight years of service.
The board opened its district highlights by recognizing Scarlett Waltz of Granville High School as the high-school winner of the Licking Soil and Water River Roundup poster contest. As part of the recognition, the district will receive a $500 scholarship "to use towards science and arts programming," and representatives from the conservation district presented a check to Principal Scott Hinton and Scarlett.
Board members then celebrated the Blue Aces track team for strong state performances — noting the boys finished 10th as a team and the girls 13th — and singled out student honors including Annie McCracken (All-Ohio, senior), Tory Reynolds (third place high jump), Cade Roberts (third place high jump) and Bodie Schopes (fourth in the 100m and 200m).
The board also presented a formal commendation to arts boosters president Andy Wildman for eight years of volunteer leadership supporting band and arts programming; the chair praised Wildman’s long service and invited him forward to accept the board’s thanks and pose for photographs.
Why it matters: Commendations highlight community partnerships, student achievement and volunteer leadership that support the district’s arts and athletics offerings. The $500 scholarship was described as a school-directed award to support STEM and arts activities.
Next step: No formal action was required; presenters and attendees took photos and the board moved into staff reports.
