High school mourns, honors teacher
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.

Mr. Mills was a great teacher and inspiration to his students. I had the privilege of knowing Mr. Mills, and I believe I’m a better person for it. The community has lost a great teacher and great educator. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He will be missed… Eric Barge Springfield Clark CTC
