There’s something special that happens every year for the past nearly 5 decades right here in Marion County in Fairview, WV. Superintendent Dr. Hage served as keynote in this year’s celebration of The American Spirit. “Nothing happens in isolation…We are all part of a larger stream of events, past, present, and future. We are all the beneficiaries of those who went before us--who built the cathedrals, who braved the unknown, who gave of their time and service, and who kept faith in the possibilities of the mind and the human spirit.” - McCullough
