High school mourns, honors teacher

By Megan Gildow | Friday, April 24, 2009, 02:09 PM

Kenton Ridge High School Teacher John Mills died Wednesday evening, Principal John Hill said Friday, April 24.

Mills’ students went to a trebuchet competition at Wright State today, a competition Mills loved to participate in and the school took home first place, Hill said.

The students wanted to participate in the competition to honor his memory and Mills expressed that he wanted them to go as well, said Hill.

Look for more on this story in Saturday’s News-Sun.

UPDATE: Here’s the story on Mr. Mills. The students and faculty I spoke to today spoke highly and lovingly of him; this is a difficult time for KRHS students and staff.
