Another school gone UPDATE

A blog reader reports:

The Dewitt School board, in a special called meeting, voted to close the Humphrey Elementary school and the Gillett 6-12 grade middle school and high school effective this next school year. Gillett K-5 will remain open.

It is a sad time here in Gillett. As far as I know, the Coon Supper will still be on. Money raised to provide scholarships to graduating high school students from the Gillett area.

UPDATE: Brady Holzhauer, a freshman journalism student at UA and a Gillett High graduate, sends in a column on the subject.
