Today, Loveland High School welcomed Ohio Governor Mike DeWine for a visit with students. Mr. DeWine spoke to students in Jim Vanatsky’s freshman World History class and Caitlin Smith’s Advanced Placement Macroeconomics class. During the visit, the Governor talked about his family, his childhood, and his nearly 50-year career in public service. Mr. DeWine is currently in his second term as Ohio governor and has served in numerous county and state offices and both houses of the United States Congress. 

Mr. DeWine fielded questions from students about various topics, including taxes, manufacturing careers, school cell phone policies, and literacy programs. Students also asked questions about public school funding and the sources of revenue for school districts. Loveland School Board President Jonathan Eilert and Treasurer John Espy also chatted with Governor DeWine about his current state budget proposal and the negative impact it would have on state funding for the Loveland City School District. 

We appreciate Governor DeWine making time to visit with Loveland High School students. Special thanks to Loveland High School social studies teacher Jim Vanatsky for inviting Governor DeWine to visit and providing our students with this unique learning opportunity.
