OFFICIAL RIBBON CUTTING for OHS Restoration Project
The Olean City School District Foundation (OCSDF) and the Olean City School District Board of Education held the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Olean High School renovation project. The ceremony was Saturday, June 21, at Olean High School, 410 West Sullivan Street in Olean, NY.The Olean City School District and the Olean City School District Foundation undertook this $33,000 renovation project to upgrade the grounds and facade of Olean High School. The project included: cleaning of the school’s sandstone base, removal of existing plants, lighting the pillars across the front of the building, renovation of the Marshall Eade fountain, addition of a brick plaza with picnic tables, benches, lamp posts, urns, new trees and shrubs. OCSDF assisted by selling bricks that were used to create a new OHS front plaza while also funding the other improvements. This gave the community and alumni an opportunity to support the project without use of taxpayer money.
The OCSDF and the Board of Education appreciate the community’s and alumni support in this renovation project. The event was the same weekend as the OHS Alumni Reunion and Athletic Wall of Fame Reception.
