Here's a great #FlashBackFriday photo: Back in 1921 when the school was nearing completion, this young man stops to rest on blocks at the construction site. Many stopped by the site to marvel at the construction of this castle in our small town. Sam Patterson's vision was indeed a vision to behold when traveling down the dusty dirt path of Hamilton Street.
The young man is Joseph Floyd Searcy Sr., the father of Joe Searcy who later taught, coached, and served as administrator in the district. Joseph's great grandson attends RRHS and is a member of the Class of 2025. #RRGSDProud #RRHSTurns100
