In this inaugural episode, we sit down with Shades Cahaba Elementary School Principal Dr. John Lowry. He lets us know what has been happening at Shade Cahaba. Then we take him to school and learn about the principals who served before him. We also talk about Shades Valley (the land, not the school) and talk about schools in Jefferson County before Shades Cahaba.
