Local storm-chaser Carl Willoughby graduated from Hamilton Heights High School in 1976, when the current middle school building was the home of the high school. On June 2, he and some of his classmates walked through their school for what they believed would be the final time. Thanks to support from Heights administration and an outpouring of interest from other alumni, there was one last chance for Heights graduates to tour their old school before the building is repurposed. On Saturday, Sept. 29, approximately 30 people from the classes of 1968 through 1978 toured their alma mater and had the memory recorded by photographer Greg Hoover.
