The accompanying photo album shows some of the highlights of the move.

Casey Principal and now ACPC Principal Patty Jones said when the idea was first being considered. The move brings to fruition an idea first conceived by Adair County School Board Chairman Floyd Burton, who thought the bell would make an important symbol of the great heritage of the Adair County school system. 2013-07-30 15:02:34 | Comments | Printable version
