Farewell, Whitaker Elementary: Celebrating the Past, Embracing the Future
As the old Whitaker Elementary School begins to be torn down, it's a bittersweet moment for our Finneytown community. Whitaker has been more than just a school building; it has been a place of learning, laughter, friendships, and countless memories for generations of students, teachers, and families.
