Post from Admin about this page:

Edit to add, Feb 9, 2025, Albums have been restored and the page seems to be working as intended for now. An email was sent to Meta and someone, somewhere inside Meta seems to have fixed the issues. *Grateful*

Each yearbook was filed in a separate "photo album" in the "Photo" section of the page. Currently (1/20/25) NONE of the albums are visible, even to admin. All of the photos appear to still be visible under "Photos" -- although it may be difficult to find a particular year or teacher by scrolling through. I am unsure whether FB has deleted all the albums, or whether this is temporary. This page was put together by a handful of volunteers, and many hours were spent scanning old yearbooks, so I am hopeful it can be restored.

Sad news to share….Norman James (brother of Fran James) fought a very brave and long battle against cancer. Norman passed away this weekend.

I saw a post that Norman played with Holt Athletics Association and this is for anyone that may have been in HAA when Norman played for the then Holt Colts.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I posted this same post on Growing Up in Durham so this could be a duplicate for many of you.

I am trying to find the picture from the Durham Herald Sun, from the mid-60’s of the 4 men who started Holt Athletic Association.

The men were James Hayes (Timothy Darin Hayes), Alton Lovette(Craig Lovette), Charlie Tew(Liz Liz Hunike), and James Dorman (my dad).

Does anyone have access to any archives?

Thanks!

For all Holt School alumni -- since Holt students fed directly into Carrington Jr. High, this information may be of interest to you. :)

SAVE THE DATE – CALLING ALL CARRINGTON ALUMNI
This year, Carrington is celebrating its’ 50th Year of Education. To recognize this monumental year, we have many events scheduled to celebrate our current students and alumni. Our first event will be held on Wednesday, October 8, with our Homecoming Football Game (starting at 4:00) and Alumni Reception following (5:45 – 7:00). The celebration will start before the game with a tailgating party (2:30 – 4:00) where we invite everyone to decorate their car/truck with Carrington’s colors. A prize will be awarded to the best decorated car which showcases true Cougar Pride! We will also have corn hole games and other events on site to enjoy.

Also, before and during the game, we will be selling BBQ plates for $5.00 which will include BBQ, slaw, and baked beans. All proceeds from the BBQ plates will benefit our students who are attending the Washington, DC trip in April. After the game , we will be hosting an Alumni Reception in our school’s cafeteria. All Carrington Alumni (from 1964-2014) are invited to join us for a time of fellowship and reminiscing about your favorite Cougar memories with other alumni and their families.
