Please join the Community Engagement Council in honoring the legendary retired coaches of the Walthall County School District. This distinguished group saw a need and chose to serve the community without expecting anything in return. They gave their time and often their own money to work with the county’s youth. We want to ensure that they know the work they did has not been forgotten. Their mentorship was life-changing for members of the CEC and others in the community. The sacrifices they made have borne fruit by inspiring others to follow in their footsteps. Come and show your appreciation to them for all they have done for the community!
The following coaches are being honored:
Salem High School- Kenneth Murphy and Danny McCallum
Dexter High School-Robert Conerly, Stephen Fortenberry, Bobby Lee
Tylertown High School- Evelyn Haley, Cynthia Magee, Leon ‘Pop’ Magee, Osborne Holmes, Dwight Smith, Walter Denton, William Watts, Zack Fortenberry, Jasmine Jackson, Vernon Lee, Jimmy Lee, Hollie Booth, Russell Caudill
The memory of the following coaches we have lost will also be honored: Lenard Haley, Ron Brister, Richard Willoughby and Duane Dillon.
