ASHLAND Jarrod Hartzler, executive director for the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, and Donna Collins, executive director for the Ohio Arts Council, hope Ashland High School’s Fine Arts Signing Day catches on with other schools across the area.
They both attended Wednesday’s event at AHS where 14 seniors signed “non-binding” forms stating they will pursue fine arts careers after high school. Another senior, Maiyah Lewis, plans to do the same but couldn’t attend because she was competing in a softball game. Pursuing that passion helps them through their life and it makes them well-rounded individuals,” Hartzler said.

Installation of outdoor fitness equipment will happen over the summer, too. This will be for public and private use.
The Edison Project s schedule will be finalized May 19.
