As community members gathered to brainstorm ways to keep the Historic Dupree School alive, Steve Smith heard a still small voice in his head telling him it is time to speak up and do more.
Over the decades, it transformed into a place where people gathered for family reunions, home demonstration classes and entertainment.That led to the formation of a group called ‘Friends of the Dupree School.’One person in particular was instrumental in that process, earning him the recognition of this month’s Silent Hero award.
That burning desire to elevate the vision of the landmark stems from his deep family connection to the school. Smith grew up a mile from the schoolhouse; a place where his mother and grandparents once filled those classroom seats as students.“We have so much to owe to those generations. We not only want to preserve these landmarks, but we are working to return light and life,” says Smith.
