Edgewood City Schools

Superintendent Appointment Edgewood City School District is proud to announce the appointment of its new superintendent, Kelly Spivey. Last evening Edgewood Board of Education unanimously voted to appoint Kelly Spivey to a more permanent role at Edgewood as superintendent. Kelly has been serving the district as interim superintendent since the retirement of former Superintendent Russ Fussnecker. During her short tenure here as interim superintendent, Kelly Spivey has shown her passion for our students and the quality of education that they receive. Having lived in Butler County most of her life, Kelly understands the needs of our families and community and advocates for what is best for all students. The Edgewood City School District Board felt it was important to provide stability to our district during this time of transition. We have had many personnel changes and retirements, and we need to provide a strong leader going into our levy campaign. We have tremendous confidence that Kelly Spivey is that person.

The SWOC Swimming Championship occurred this past Saturday at Miami University and several swimmers earned honors including: Julianne Hobson – 2nd place 200 Free - 2nd place 100 Butterfly Wyatt Phillips – 2nd place 100 Backstroke (New school record) Maggie Thornsberry – 3rd place 100 Free Kurt Browning – 3rd place 100 Free Men’s 200 Free Relay – 3rd place Kurt Browning, Lucas Haag, Yury Bair, Wyatt Phillips (New school record) Men’s 400 Free Relay – 3rd place Kurt Browning, Yury Bair, Lucas Haag, Wyatt Phillips (New school record) Several swimmers also had Personal Records for their efforts on Saturday. Congratulations to all members! Go Cougars!!
