SWEETWATER-Hundreds of Sweetwater High students became a part of history and part of the future at the same time Nov. 9 with the planting of the "Centennial Tree" in front of the school in honor of SHS's first 100 years and what is yet to come.

"You are the future of our community," City Commissioner and Tree Board member Sam Moser told the students.

The white oak, that was planted in front of the school, can live up to 400 years with the proper care and grow up to 80 feet tall.

"This centennial tree is a way to commemorate the wonderful work of the 100-Year Celebration, and the rich history of Sweetwater High School," said Mayor Doyle Lowe.
