Winter/Spring 2023 - Students apply for historical marker

A group of Upper Arlington High School students, with the support of teacher Marlene Orloff, applied for a historical marker on the site of the Litchford Family Cemetery through the Ohio History Connection.  The students worked to research the life and contributions of Mr. Litchford and then compile a statement of significance regarding the site.

“This was a great example of project-based learning for our students,” said Chief Academic Officer Keith Pomeroy.  “Not only did they learn about an important part of our local history, but they took steps to help ensure that Pleasant Litchford’s story would be shared for generations to come.”
