ThisWeek group
Perry Middle School, which was closed in 2010 in a cost-saving move and converted to accommodate the Phoenix Middle School program, is undergoing renovations that are expected to be completed by August.
The school, which has been repurposed as Phoenix Middle School, is expected to open in August for the 2021-22 school year, according to Jeff Eble, Worthington Schools director of business services.
“Our goal is to be finished and out by Aug. 1,” Eble said. “We might have a little bit of site work outside we have to finish.”

New Albany Roundup: Eagles water polo program seeks growth, varsity status
ThisWeek group
In an ordinary year, water polo might be a training ground for high school swimmers heading into the winter.
But whether water polo was in the fall, as it usually has been, or in the spring, as it is this year because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, New Albany junior A.J. Denny would have been ready.
“We got the hard swimming out and then flowed right into water polo season,” Denny said. “I found it I liked it. It was a lot more entertaining than swimming for me. I actually treat swimming as conditioning for water polo. It’s a team sport, not in swimming where you’re just working individually. Here, you’re competing, laughing with people and having a good time.”
