Spartan Solar Eclipse Glasses
Lima City Schools’ families, alumni and supporters can view the April 8 solar eclipse safely and in style with custom-made Spartan glasses.
The district is selling the glasses for $5 with proceeds going to the creation of a Veterans Wall of Honor in front of Lima Senior High School. The glasses say “Lima Spartans” and include a Spartan head.
Lima has been named one of the 20 best places in North America to view the solar eclipse. Looking directly at an eclipse can be very harmful and people are warned to only do so if they have glasses designed for viewing an eclipse.
Glasses can be purchased during school hours at South Science and Technology Magnet School, 755 Saint Johns Ave.

Veterans Wall of Honor
The Lima City Schools is in the early stages of planning a Veterans Wall of Honor on the campus of Lima Senior High School.
The memorial will be a way to honor the men and women who graduated from Lima Senior, Central High School or South High School and served active duty in the military. It will be a reminder to our students of the sacrifices made by those who came before them.
Hall of Fame
The Lima City Schools Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame is held every three years and inducts outstanding alumni. The most recent group was inducted October, 2021.
The next induction will be in the fall of 2024. Nominations will be accepted until March 22, 2024.

Volunteer
The Lima City Schools is always eager to have parents and community members volunteer in our schools. The interactions our students have with adult volunteers are always positive and rewarding for both the student and volunteer.
There are a number of ways volunteers can help. And there are many programs to get involved with. Please call the school you are interested in working with for more information.
By law, all district volunteers must have background checks. Call the district Human Resources office at 419-996-3423 or 419-996-3405 for more information on background checks.
