It is a number that will be forever etched into the mind of Dr. Brock Nolin and his family — 1,485.
For Nolin, it is the number of days combined spent going over plans, and walking over and through the construction site of the new Tallassee High School. Nolin now gets to return to his normal duties as a husband, parent and the superintendent of Tallassee City Schools now that the construction of a new Tallassee High School is complete. But the process of a new Tallassee High School started well before Nolin took the reins.
