HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL: Mayor makes a special trip

Mayor Rick Sollars visited his old stomping grounds and was entered into Hoover Middle School Hall of Fame Monday morning.

He spent about an hour being interviewed by the Hoover Hawks' Voice Newspapers staff, which did an excellent job of putting the mayor "on the spot" on issues from running the City to his days at Hoover and the importance of a good education.

The Hoover Middle School Hall of Fa

me is a new project focusing on bringing alumni back into the building and giving the students there plenty of good role models.

The Hawks' Voice staff and the teaching staff should be commended for their efforts. The Hall of Fame is being posted on the main hall entering the building and offers a photo of the honoree in front of the school's logo, and a brief description of person's accomplishments.

The editor of the newspaper plans to send the interview to Talking Taylor Schools, which will post it in the near future.

The newspaper staff plans to induct State Sen. Hoon Yung Hopgood next month.
