Additionally, Lee High School has been the first school to win
two consecutive
William Trumbauer Theatre and Speech Festival 1st place awards.
Being a first for
any school to succeed at this in the competition's 56-year history,
this is a historical
event for not only Lee High School, but the community of Huntsville,
Alabama. This
event is held each year at the University of Montevallo.
The Lee High Magnet Drama program also made its debut on television
with the
documentary "Teens Rock the Cradle," produced by Girls Inc. of
Huntsville
Alabama, a presentation aimed at curbing teenage pregnancy. Other
recent
prductions included "Mary of Maple Hill," a historical drama,
written by Pat Bevins, a
local teacher at the Academy for Science and Foreign Language.
It was co-directed
by Ron Harris and Connie Voight.
On Monday, May 5, 1997, the Drama Magnet Parents Booster Group
held its
second annual Academy of the Stars' Awards Night, honoring community
supporters,
Mr. Harris and the students. This gala event hosted approximately
100 attendees,
with the graduating seniors paying special tribute to Mr. Harris.
