We have had two teachers to pass away in the past few days.
Mrs. Isabelle Jones taught algebra, geometry and other math-related classes. Her husband died within a week.
She graduated from East Tennessee State Teachers College and taught mathematics in our school system until her retirement in 1985.
Coach Charlie Hixon died May 5, 2012. He was such a great influence to many students. He served as an assistant coach for the late Don Littleton before taking over as the head coach in 1986 when Littleton retired from coaching. He was a 1968 graduate of Gordon Lee where he played football and ran track.
