10/24/12 - The Fowlerville School Board paid tribute last night to longtime district teacher and administrator Ed Alverson, after whom the high schoolâs performing arts center was recently named. Alverson has served in the district for 40 years, first as a teacher and principal at the high school and later as district superintendent. He oversaw the construction of the performing arts center and was involved in raising public support for the bond issue that paid for the project. A committee of parents, staff, and board members recommended the name change earlier this month, and on October 9th the school board approved a resolution identifying the facility as the Alverson Center for the Performing Arts. Alverson tells WHMI that he was surprised by the news and happy to be recognized by the community he has worked with for so long. Originally the board considered renaming Gold Road, which leads to the performing arts center, but later chose the facility itself as a tribute more fitting for Alversonâs accomplishments. (TD)
