The July meeting of the Jackson County Historical Association will be held Sunday, July 28 at 2:00 pm at Paint Rock Valley High School in Princeton where we will dedicate a new historical marker recognizing the school years of Paint Rock Valley High School and hear about plans for the building from its administrator, Mike Sims. This marker is primarily the work of one man: JCHA member Donald Langston, part of the PRVHC Class of 1956. He raised the money to have the marker created. He secured permission from the land owner to place the marker on the main road. When the marker was delivered, he organized the expedition to Scottsboro to retrieve the heavy marker, and helped with its setup. Our meeting will be inside the school in the historic gymnasium. Donald Langston and our speaker Mike Sims will serve as our guides, with Donald talking about the past and Mike about the future of this historic school. Those of you who frequent Graham Farms will be familiar with Mike. He is an excellent speaker who has addressed JCHA meetings before. After the program and a tour of the school, we will go outside and dedicate the new historical marker. The meeting is open to both members and non-members, and refreshments will be served. Alumni of the school are encouraged to attend and hear the plans for their historic alma mater.
