One of our goals is to capture the stories of all who attended Central and served on active duty, or in the Reserves, or National Guard.
Central attendees and graduates endured WWI, WWII, Korean Conflict, Viet Nam Conflict, Cold War, and Middle Eastern Conflicts (and others not so well known).
Central brothers and sisters who served in law enforcement and fire protection, we intent to capture your stories too.
So…..share your stories.
The efforts of the Preservation of Central History Team continue in earnest as evidenced by how this site is growing.
Spread the word about the site, and if you’re interested in becoming an author or contributor, let us know.
Today Bobby Byrd confirmed receipt of payment at the Tennessee Historical Commission. Priority Mail envelope had been delayed because of the weather, so we were getting a little concerned-should have arrived last Wednesday or Thursday.
The Commission ordered the marker for arrival in Chattanooga in approximately 18 weeks.
Coordination is underway for the dedication ceremony in mid-to-late July.
Note the reference to donation of the property ”which became the first location of Chattanooga Central High School.”
Thanks to Ed Hoback, the 1916 and 1961 Champions are now posted for your review and reference.
Let Ed know how much all his hard work and contributions to preserving Central history are appreciated.
