TGIF: Approaching the finish line for a school year unlike none other
Gene Deason
Editor emeritus
Those of us who don’t routinely visit a school or university campus probably can’t appreciate what a difficult period the past 12 to 14 months have been. The COVID-19 pandemic forced education officials to make difficult decisions in uncertain times.
A family friend who’s in the same generation as our daughter, and who works for the same state agency but in different cities, asked me how she was enjoying “working from home.” I think I replied accurately when I said that it might be OK if her husband wasn’t having to work at home too, while they also took turns being remote teachers’ assistants to their second-grade son.
Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom
Though work has just recently started on the Newbury Family Welcome Center on the Howard Payne University campus, plans for the next project are already in full swing.
The impending renovation of HPU’s historic Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom will benefit from a $600,000 challenge grant recently received from the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Foundation.
“Since that time we’ve had significant support among our graduates and of that $2 million project we only have about $350,000 left to raise on that building,” said HPU President Dr. Cory Hines. “We’re excited about where we are and feel like this is a great opportunity for some of our local folks who maybe have walked through the building and toured it as students to be a part of this project that will really transform that corner there at Austin and Coggin.”

Howard Payne University was recently awarded a $600,000 challenge grant from the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Foundation to benefit the renovation of HPU’s historic Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom facility.
The Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom houses the Guy D. Newman Honors Academy, the university’s multidisciplinary honors program. The Academy building is an important landmark in Brown County, incorporating the original building of Daniel Baker College, dating back to 1890, and housing a collection of General MacArthur’s artifacts and other historical displays. The $2 million renovation project will focus on the building’s main hall and wings, dating back to the 1960s, which will bring the facility up to date and provide new life for its use by students, visitors and university personnel.
