SYLACAUGA, Ala. – The Sylacauga City Schools Foundation presented its 70th Chair this week, honoring the Hodges family. Don and Lynn Hodges were surrounded by a host of family members as the chair and plaque were unveiled in the Sylacauga High School foyer.
The Hodges have been tied to the Sylacauga community since the late 1960s, with Don Hodges having served the region as a teacher and coach before becoming a Balfour representative for decades, and Lynn Hodges as a teacher and administrator for 25 years in the Sylacauga City School system.
The Hodges legacy continues today with dozens of Sylacauga High graduates, several still serving as employees of the local school system. Those family members have been a part of every fundraising effort put forth by the Sylacauga City Schools Foundation since it began in 1988.
The 70th Chair presentation represents more than 32 years of financial support for the state’s oldest such foundation.
