TCSC Gives the Community a Chance to Own a Piece of School History
Attention all Blue Devils fans! You have a chance to own a part of TCSC’s spirited school history through the purchase of the Inferno’s original plank flooring. The Friends of the Inferno along with students from Tipton High School’s Computer Integrated Manufacturing (PLTW) and Advisory classes are selling sections of hardwood planks and giving buyers the opportunity to customize their purchase by adding names, school logos, and graduation year. In addition, the district is planning to host several silent auctions for the “Tipton,” "Backboards," and the “Big T” later this year.
Under the supervision of educators Michael Vittorio (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and Dave Wahl (Engineering), students will be crafting shadow boxes, engraving planks, and finishing most of the plank keepsakes with a coat of polyurethane. The fundraiser is helping to breathe new life into these pieces of maple flooring, originally installed in 1961.
If these planks could talk – they would share endless tales of athletic competitions, graduations, and specialty events that have taken place in Tipton High School’s Inferno over the last six decades. The reclaimed planks are being customized and sold to give the community a chance to own a little piece of Blue Devil history and raise money for continued renovation of the new high school gymnasium.
