School sets memorial dedication for crash victim

By Megan Gildow | Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 10:18 PM

Greenon High School will hold a dedication April 26 in honor of Pat Jacobson, a standout athlete who was killed in a car accident in March 2009.

My colleague Kermit Rowe wrote about plans for a memorial to Jacobson at the school in November.

Pat Jacobson’s classmates, teammates, friends, teachers and countless others banded together to create an area at the school to honor his memory. They’ve been working on this for a while now and will hold the formal dedication in April, Superintendent Lori Lytle said. I’ve heard from a few people now how hard GHS has worked to make this happen in Pat’s honor.

I’ll have more details closer to April 26.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, Springfield board members will meet in special session to interview semi-finalists for their next superintendent.

We’ll have profiles of all six semi-finalists in the News-Sun this weekend but if you keep your browser pointed to the blog over the next couple days, you’ll get a sneak peak at who made the cut to meet the board in the first round of interviews.
