Middleton Attendance Center historic marker
SUMMARY: On Friday, Lindsay Hall reported the unveiling of a historical marker at Northeast Middle School to commemorate Middleton Attendance Center. Built in 1959, Middleton accommodated black students in Lauderdale County outside the Meridian Separate School District, housing 59 faculty members and around 2,000 students from grades 1-12. It remained operational until 1970, when desegregation led black students to be reassigned to predominantly white schools. The event holds significance for alumni, affirming their school's historical presence. Middleton was later converted into Northeast Lauderdale Elementary School. This marker is a significant addition, celebrating the school's crucial role in local history.

SUMMARY: After years of planning, searching, and raising money, Hope City Church is ready for its next phase. Community members recently gathered to view the church's new space and celebrate its future. Senior and founding Pastor Josh Lafy expressed immense joy over the church's progress. Previously, as a setup and tear-down church, members spent 16 months setting up and dismantling their operations every Sunday. Having moved through various locations, Hope City Church is thrilled to transition from a church plant to an established church. They aim to move into their new location on SE Street in Meridian, in the old TND Furniture building, within the next year.
