Porter said he also hopes to get memorabilia that shows how the two schools came together. Porter said he got the idea for the display during a visit to the Houston County Board of Education, where there are displays and a museum showcasing the schools' history, outstanding graduates and a replica of an old classroom. I thought it would be a good way of helping us, students and even visitors of understanding the school. Porter organized a three-person committee last spring to work on the collection, but the drive for items is just getting starting. We didn't want to put a real push on it until we had a place to put them.
Porter hopes to have the display ready when students return in the fall.
Bass said the school was willing to copy and return items if the owner didn't want to part with the original.
