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.
