Allie Beach, from the Kettering Fairmont Class of 2009, takes the alumni spotlight today. A Firebird to her core, Allie headed home to Kettering Schools 15 years ago as a paraprofessional at Prass, a role she held for 12 years, before heading to the high school as an Intervention Specialist.
As a student, Allie played volleyball and was on the swim team. When she wasn’t competing on her own, you’d still find her cheering on the Firebirds as a member of Spirit Club or planning school events with class council. Allie was active in Young Life and remains connected with many friends, teachers, and coaches still today.
One of the unforgettable moments that stands out as an example of what makes Fairmont such an incredible place for all students dates back to 2007 at the Varsity Boys Basketball Senior Night game. Allie recalls, “Matty Kauffman, who had Down Syndrome and was manager of the basketball team, was put into the game for senior night… and scored!” Fans from both teams went wild celebrating this shot heard around the community.
Today, Allie continues to celebrate the achievements of students, staff, and families across Kettering. She is an assistant coach of the Fairmont Swim and Dive team, the head coach of the Oak Creek Flippers summer swim team, and logs more hours at Fairmont sporting events than most athletes.
"I’ve always been a Firebird and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. There’s just something about this place that brings alumni back. I absolutely loved my time in high school, and now I get to help students not only learn, but hopefully love this place too."
