    Chapter 3: Echoes of Connelly

    One location in Lewisburg served the community as a site for the education of Marshall County students for over 100 years. From a run of private schools, to the birthplace of Marshall County High School.... However, most know this location as Connelly Middle School. The History Club investigated what made Connelly so special to so many in Lewisburg, but perhaps the best evidence is to just listen to stories that happened in the old hallways and classrooms. The memories and stories tell a history of a building that made an impact on so many people that spent time there learning and teaching. Walls can't talk... but maybe if we dig a little bit deeper and ask the right questions, those stories may still echo the halls of Connelly. This supersized episode hosted by MCHS students Lyle Nelson and Caiden Emmitt features contributions from several current and former educators as they recount stories from Connelly, including:  Mary Brewer Ryan Henry David Steely Kevin Mcgehee Jenna Wilson Daniel Batey Mike Reese Lee Perryman Kyle Stacey Kathi Jo Martin Dickie Adkins Connie Page Benita Villines Jeanne Wiles Frank Sullivan  MCHS Student Sam Johnson conducted a round table discussion with several former teachers from Connelly. Caiden Emmitt sat down with Frank Sullivan for an interview about the connection that Connelly shared with his community outreach organization, HOPEtown.  Ellah Wilson also spoke with Director of Schools Jacob Sorrells for our Municipal Community Spotlight about the role a Director of Schools plays in the community.
