Finishing up seven years as the high school  maintenance director Dewey “Duke” Graham will retire at Christmas break.

   Graham has a little bit of history here at the high school, starting out as the mascot for three years shortly before graduating in 1973. Graham began working at the school in 2013 when he was asked by the superintendent at the time to take the position as the maintenance director. 

   When at home Graham will always enjoy remembering that he had done a great thing helping the high school stay nice and clean even with his busy day-to-day schedule.

   “I have a wife that has been retired for six years so at home I will be saying ‘yes ma’am’ and ‘no ma’am’ after retiring,” Graham said.
