Ryle celebrating 20 years



The Raiders are ready to celebrate 20 years of black and orange.

This year’s seniors will be Ryle High School’s 20th graduating class, and plans are under way to reunite two decades of students and staff.

Current teacher Robyn Bain and retiree Sarah Meece are organizing two reunion events in May.

The first is a faculty reunion for anyone who ever worked at Ryle. Details are still being finalized, but the event will be Friday, May 11, at Receptions in Erlanger and will cost around $20.

“It’s going to be a night full of stories and reminiscing,” Meece said.

So many teachers worked hard to make Ryle the nationally recognized school it is now, and this night will be a chance for former staff to look back fondly, Meece said.

The following night, there will be a celebration that’s open to the public – especially Ryle graduates and former Ryle parents.

“It was the people who’ve made Ryle High School what it is today,” Meece said.  The event will take place at Ryle’s football stadium.  “It’s going to be similar to the dedication ceremony we had in 1992,” Meece said.

The ceremony will recognize some of Ryle’s highlights over the last 20 years.  “I’m sure we will celebrate Mr. Cooper’s life,” Meece said.  Randy Cooper was Ryle’s founding principal who died in 2006.

Bain and Meece are trying to get the word out about the weekend so as many former students and staff can make it as possible.

“It’s a milestone and a milestone we’re very proud of,” Meece said.

Anyone looking for more information or wanting to get on the mailing list as more information comes out should email Meece at skmeece@gmail.com.
