For the third straight year, The Commercial presents a series honoring Jefferson County s high school and college graduates, sharing just a few of their stories. For this series, the Class of 2023, we will also look back with alumni and educators on four schools that are closing or being phased out at the end of this school year – Dollarway High, Jack Robey Junior High, Lighthouse Charter and Friendship Aspire Academy Southeast Campus. (The last will restart its high school with a slow-growth model.)
