What’s Happening in Harlem Township
HARLEM HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI BANQUET It’s been sixty-one years since the last graduating class of Harlem High School in Center Village walked across the green and gold curtained stage in the auditorium and received their diplomas. The fact that it's been that long doesn't bother the alumni of Harlem High who meet annually for an alumni banquet but these days, their numbers are swelled by those who attended Harlem Schools while the high school was still there. They were subsequently moved to Big Walnut before graduation. This year’s banquet will be on Saturday, June 22, at the Harlem Road Methodist Church, 5520 Harlem Road. If you'd like more information about this event, please contact Diana at the church (740-965-4543) or Vicki at 740-965-4535. | |
IMPORTANT NEWS – STOP SIGN CHANGE, MARCH 20 The Delaware County Engineer’s Office has informed township trustees that the stop signs at Harlem and Center Village Roads are going to be reversed. Harlem Road traffic will stop for Center Village Road traffic, and Center Village Road traffic will continue through the intersection without stopping. Prior to the change, there will be a two week period during which the intersection will be a 4-way stop. After that, the permanent change will be made. Please be very careful at this intersection in the upcoming months while people become accustomed to this change. |
