The 2024 Wyoming High School Homecoming Parade has been rescheduled to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10. Though the parade usually takes place at 6 p.m., this earlier time accommodates previously scheduled student events and gives our high school students a better opportunity to be part of the rescheduled festivities.

Parade lineup will start at 3:45 p.m. on Worthington Avenue.

At 4:30 p.m., the parade route will be:

North on Springfield Pike from Worthington Avenue,

East on Chestnut Avenue,

South on Burns Avenue,

West on Pendery Avenue, 

Ending at Wyoming High School.

Gates open for the home football game vs. Mariemont at 6 p.m.; kickoff is at 7 p.m. Music and games will be available for Wyoming High School students between the completion of the parade and when gates open.

The Wyoming High School Homecoming Parade is open to Wyoming High School students, Wyoming City Schools support organizations, and area youth programs. Support organizations and area youth programs that would like to participate are asked to complete this application by Tuesday, October 8.

If necessary, parade updates will be shared on the homepage of the Wyoming City Schools district website - www.wyomingcityschools.org - and the district Facebook page.

Thank you to the City of Wyoming and the Public Works, Police, and Fire Departments for your extraordinary collaboration and assistance! 

Facility upgrades at our primary schools would improve safety, security, and accessibility. Additionally, new or updated buildings will better support our mission to provide innovative, student-centered educational opportunities that foster the academic growth and personal development of every student in our primary schools.

The 7.98 mill bond issue will raise $72.5 million for the new construction of three new K-4 primary schools on the sites of the current primary schools. A 7.98 mill levy would normally increase taxes by $279.21 annually for each $100,000 of market home value.

• However, through the district’s strong fiscal stewardship, the current Wyoming High School bond levy is being paid off three years early, decreasing taxes by $117.60 annually for each $100,000 of market home value at the end of 2024 and removing 3.36 mills from the community’s residential taxes.
• The overall net impact on taxes with passage of the bond levy is an increase of $161.61 annually for each $100,000 of market value (4.62 mills). For example: If your home is valued at $400,000 on the Hamilton County Auditor’s Website, passage of the bond issue will add $646.68 annually to your tax bill, or $53.90 per month.

The school district has been studying and discussing how to address building improvements and the educational needs of our primary students since 2021. These discussions brought forth a series of concepts for consideration centered on updates and improvements for the school facilities and the design of spaces to meet the program needs for students now and in the future. 

The Board has actively reached out to residents in their work to define a concept that will meet the educational needs of students and reflects the priorities the community supports. Hundreds of residents have participated in this process. Community meetings and forums have been held and a statistically-representative survey was conducted in March 2024. In data provided by the statistically-representative survey of the community, the Board saw overwhelming support for the construction of three new K-4 schools on the sites of the current primary schools.

“We are excited about the opportunity to replace our more than 65-year-old primary school buildings with new schools that offer additional and expanded instructional spaces, improved safety and accessibility, modern technology, and so much more,” said Board of Education President Jeanie Zoller.

WYOMING PRIMARY FACILITIES MASTER PLAN

The Wyoming Primary Schools Master Plan calls for three new K-4 schools: 

• A new 35,150-square-foot Elm School on the current site with an expanded footprint.
• A new 50,000-square-foot Hilltop School on the current site with an expanded footprint.
• A new 35,150-square-foot Vermont School on the current site with an expanded footprint.

Each new school includes a secure entry vestibule; updated safety features; improved accessibility; larger classrooms; additional classrooms and space for gifted education, special education, and intervention; spaces for art and music; adequate gym space; and expanded kitchens and student dining areas. The project will incorporate sustainable design and cost effective strategies which could include such things as daylighting; rainwater management; water use reduction; high-performing building systems, construction, and demolition waste management specifying materials with high recycled content; and improved indoor air quality.

It is important to note that the actual design cannot begin until after the outcome of the November 5 election, so these are concepts/ideas of what the district would like to be included in the final design. If the bond issue passes in November, there will be a process in place for stakeholders to provide input into the design elements.

MASTER PLANNING PROCESS

Approved by the Board of Education, the plan reflects the work of the 38-member Primary Facilities Steering Committee and extensive community feedback gathered through the use of community meetings and forums, online forms, a statistically-representative community survey, and more.
