Hard labor, donations transforming White Station High’s tough courtyard
White Station ninth-grader Gabrielle Clark helps plant in the school’s courtyard on Saturday at White Station High School. Volunteers spent the day working on landscaping in the school’s courtyard as part of a half-million dollar project led by attorney Richard Myers. (Brad Vest/Special to Daily Memphian)
Against all odds, a $550,000 fundraising and work project to turn White Station High’s hardpan courtyard into an oasis is nearing the finish line. But a little work and fundraising are still to be completed.
