The nonprofit Robert E. Lee School Association is dedicated
to the restoration and renovation
of the historic school building located near downtown Paris.
With assistance from grants, donations, memberships
and a special contribution of $10,000
to the Paris-Henry County Arts Council by an anonymous donor,
three rooms are ready for the premier season
of the Robert E. Lee Academy for the Arts.
The Academy will offer year-round classes and workshops
with an emphasis on visual and performing arts to citizens
of all ages from throughout Paris and Henry County.
