More than four decades after its doors closed, the spirit of the historical Dogan Elementary School came alive Saturday as alumni gathered for their inaugural reunion. “I must say that we are the envy of all other elementary schools,” committee member Sythia Gaut said, noting the reunion was the first of its kind to unite all alumni of the school that served Black students in Marshall. Gaut said she was too excited to sleep the previous night as she anticipated the reunion.
