Kent high schoolers protest DeWine during career center visit

- Theo Bednar

Governor Mike DeWine visited Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent on Thursday, April 24 to cut the ribbon on the addition of a major new career center at the school. Several students took the opportunity to protest.

The facility — known as the Engineering and Advanced Technologies Center — started construction in August 2024. It is designed to give Career Technical Education (CTE) students from the Six District Educational Compact a chance to improve their skills and contribute to manufacturing in Ohio.
