LHS Hosts Gym Open House

On Friday, August 17, 2012, at 2 PM, community members gathered to recognize the city's gift to Crenshaw County Board of Education.  The band, cheerleaders and dance team all christened the gym   with their performances (and no one broke a sweat....well, maybe someone did).

With a 2 cents sales tax on cigarettes, the City of Luverne made its final payment on the Luverne gymnasium in 1985.  The 1954 cost of the gym was $95,000.  Architects estimate today's cost at $1.4 million.    To commemorate the occasion, Mayor Joe Rex Sport was given a pair of 1954 safety glasses found in a concrete block during the renovation.  Mr. Joe Rex then gave the glasses to Principal Pittman to be displayed at LHS.

Campus Beautification Projects A Success

Over 100 volunteers demonstrated their community pride by giving of their time to renovate and clean local schools this past Saturday.  Specifically: halls, entrances, and doors were painted;  restrooms were cleaned;  ceiling tiles were replaced;  difficult to maintain areas were spruced-up.   Much thanks to the administrators for organizing the event and  leading by example.   Kudos to all who attended.
