DAVE & CAROL VAN METRE PATH & BULL STATUE
The old dirt path in front of South High is no more!
Take a peek at how the Dave & Carol Van Metre Path & Packer Bull Statue came to be.
With the help of a large crane, a 500lb custom bull sculpture was installed in front of South High on October 5, 2021. The dedication has been postponed until next Spring, but please take a drive down 24th and check out our new statue.
Thanks go out to so many for all the work that was needed to get this project done. That includes artist John Lajba, contractor Joe Smejkal and his team at Ponfinio, Alumni Association members Paul Kracher-1961, Dean Rezac-1963 and Carole Safley-1976, Toba Cohen-Dunning and her team at OPS Foundation, Tim Holland-1977 and Holland Basham Architects, Robert B. Daughtery Foundation, the Van Metre family, John & Mary Wilson, Tim Corcoran-1972, and John Rapaich-1986.
The dedication has been postponed until next Spring, but please take a drive down 24th and check out our new statue.
